Keep database classification guidance in step with schema changes

Change the Notion database schema and have Notis retrieve current Docsumo document types for the owner to consider during the update.

Trigger

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

Action

Get User Document Types

Tool to list available user document types and user info. use when you need to discover all supported document classifications and user limits.

Why this helps

A new or renamed database property may change how a team organizes documents, while the available Docsumo categories remain unchecked.

  • Pairs structural database changes with a classification reference.
  • Helps the owner consider category alignment while context is fresh.
  • Avoids repeated manual discovery after schema work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Docsumo to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation and tell Notis to retrieve Docsumo's available types and user info when the selected Notion data source schema changes.
  • 3Choose Data Source Schema Updated and scope it to the data source.
  • 4Choose where to receive run reports and test with a safe schema change.

Questions about this workflow

Will adding a column trigger this?

A schema update event can fire for column additions, removals, or renames. The listed action retrieves Docsumo details.

Can it be scoped to one data source?

Yes. The trigger supports a data_source_id scope.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Docsumo. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

MCA Analysis

Tool to perform merchant cash advance (mca) analysis on bank statements. use when you need a month-by-month breakdown of account credits, debits, and balances after documents are processed.

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
