Ways Notis can move work from Notion to Encodian
Capture metadata from new contract PDFs
When a contract record is added to Notion, retrieve metadata from its linked PDF so you can quickly spot details such as page count, author, and file size.
Check files attached to new project records
When a project record is added to Notion, use Encodian to retrieve properties for the linked file and make handoffs easier to prepare.
Check new reference links before relying on them
When a research or reference record is added to Notion, ask Encodian to check whether its URL is available before you plan around it.
Validate updated contact email addresses
When a contact's Notion properties change, have Encodian validate the updated email address format before you rely on it for follow-up.
Create an integrity hash for updated briefs
When a brief's page content changes, use Encodian to hash the supplied content and create a digest for integrity checks or change tracking.
Compare new policy text with a reference
When a policy page is added to Notion, have Encodian compare supplied text against a chosen reference string to catch exact-match differences.
Encode new brief text for a downstream process
When a brief page is created, use Encodian to convert its supplied text to Base64 for a process that explicitly needs encoded text.
Decode a Base64 file payload linked from Notion
When a page is created for an incoming file payload, use Encodian to decode its Base64 content into a file for the next step.
Watermark PDFs linked from new approval records
When a document approval record is added to Notion, ask Encodian to watermark its linked PDF with a clear review status or handling label.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Encodian. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Encodian actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Decode Base64 String
Tool to decode a Base64 string to a file. Use when you need to extract binary content (e.g., PDF, image) from Base64 data.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Base64 Encode
Tool to encode a string to Base64. Use when you need to convert text into Base64 representation for use in other operations.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Compare Text
Tool to compare two text strings and determine if they match. Use when you have two strings and need to verify if they are equal.
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.
Hash Data
Tool to compute a cryptographic hash (MD5, SHA256, etc.) of text or file data. Use when you need to verify integrity or generate digests.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Unzip File
Tool to extract files from an archive. Use when you need to unzip a package and retrieve its contents.
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.
Get File Properties
Tool to retrieve properties of a file. Attempts multiple Encodian Filer endpoints and fallbacks.
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.
Resize Image
Tool to resize an image by percentage or dimensions. Use when you need to scale or reshape an image with optional aspect-ratio enforcement.
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.
Move File
Tool to move a file between containers. Use when you need to relocate a blob within your storage without manually copying then deleting.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
