Create project folders when work is ready
Go from project decision to organized workspace in seconds.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Create folder
Tool to create a new folder at a specified path in dropbox. use when you need to organize files by creating a new directory. requires the 'files.content.write' scope.
Why this helps
Starting a project means repeating the same folder setup while trying to remember every area.
- Remove repetitive project kickoff steps.
- Keep every project structured consistently.
- Free working memory for decisions that matter.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Dropbox to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a Notion project page property changes to ready, create the project folder and the standard subfolders in Dropbox.
- 4Pick the Notion page properties updated trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one real project.
Questions about this workflow
Can the folders match my existing process?
Yes. Name the subfolders you want in the instruction, such as Contracts, Assets, and Deliverables.
Does this run for every property update?
Ask Notis to act only when the page becomes ready or reaches the status you specify.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Dropbox. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Dropbox actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create file request
Tool to create a new file request in dropbox. use when you need to request files from others by generating a unique link for uploads to a specified dropbox folder, optionally with a deadline.
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.
Create folder
Tool to create a new folder at a specified path in dropbox. use when you need to organize files by creating a new directory. requires the 'files.content.write' scope.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create paper document
Creates a new dropbox paper document at the specified path using html or markdown content.
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.
Delete file or folder
Permanently deletes the file or folder at the specified path in dropbox. use when you need to remove a specific file or folder. requires the `files.content.write` scope.
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.
Get about me
Tool to get information about the current user's dropbox account. use when you need to retrieve account details like email, name, or account type.
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.
List files in folder
Tool to list files and folders in a specified dropbox directory. use when you need to see the contents of a folder, including subfolders if recursive is true.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
List folder contents
Retrieves a list of folders, files, and deleted entries from a specified dropbox path.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
