Start a new database with your impact in view

A new workspace for tracking can begin with a simple reminder of the progress already funded.

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

Get User Impact

Tool to get a combination of all impact types a user has funded: trees, carbon avoidance, carbon removal, and habitat restoration, in a single request. Data refreshes every 10 minutes and no authentication is required.

Why this helps

Creating new structures can mean setting up another tracker before checking what the existing impact looks like.

  • Retrieve combined Ecologi impact at database-container creation.
  • Use the snapshot as context for a new tracking space.
  • Distinguish a database container from a data source added later.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Ecologi to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation or ask Notis to retrieve combined Ecologi impact when a new Notion database is created.
  • 3Describe in one plain-language prompt how the snapshot should support database planning.
  • 4Select Database Created and a report channel, then test with one real database creation.

Questions about this workflow

Does creating a data source in an existing database fire this?

No. Database Created represents container creation. Use Data Source Created for a new data source added to an existing database.

What impact measures are returned?

The combined action retrieves trees, carbon avoidance, carbon removal and habitat restoration.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Ecologi actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Get User Carbon Offset

Tool to get the total tonnes of CO2e emissions a user has avoided (carbon offset). Data refreshes every 10 minutes. No authentication required.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Get User Carbon Removal

Tool to retrieve the total tonnes of CO₂e a user has permanently removed from the atmosphere. Data refreshes every 10 minutes. Use when checking carbon offset impact for a specific Ecologi user or business.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Get User Habitat Restoration

Tool to get the total area of habitat and ecosystem a user has restored. Data refreshes every 10 minutes. No authentication required.

ActionInstant

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.

Get User Impact

Tool to get a combination of all impact types a user has funded: trees, carbon avoidance, carbon removal, and habitat restoration, in a single request. Data refreshes every 10 minutes and no authentication is required.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Get User Trees

Tool to get the total number of trees a user has funded on Ecologi. Use when you need to retrieve tree statistics for a specific user. Data refreshes every 10 minutes.

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.

TriggerInstant

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.

Notion and Ecologi, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
