Check document options when a database is created
A new database can mean a new operating routine. Review Documint templates while deciding how its workflow should handle documents.
Trigger
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.
Action
List Templates
Tool to list all templates in the authenticated user's account. use after obtaining a valid api key.
Why this helps
Launching a new database creates setup work, and downstream document needs can be forgotten among the structural details.
- Add a document review cue to database setup.
- See template options while the workflow is still being designed.
- Avoid rediscovering document needs after the process is already in use.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Documint to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to list Documint templates when a new Notion database is created.
- 3Pick Database Created and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test during creation of an appropriate database and review the template list.
Questions about this workflow
Is database creation the same as data source creation?
No. The database trigger fires when the container is created; adding a data source to an existing database is a different event.
Does this create a template?
No. It lists existing Documint templates so you can consider whether one fits.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Documint. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Documint actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Delete Template
Tool to permanently delete a single template by its id. use when you need to remove an outdated or unused template; ensure the template id is correct before calling.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Template
Tool to retrieve a single template by its id. use when you need to fetch details of a specific template before generating documents.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List Documents
Tool to list all documents in the authenticated user's account. use after obtaining a valid api key.
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.
List Templates
Tool to list all templates in the authenticated user's account. use after obtaining a valid api key.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Update Template
Tool to update a single template by its id. use when you need to modify an existing template's settings or layout after fetching its current details.
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.
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.
