Keep email category choices in step with Notion

Use schema changes as a cue to review available Enginemailer subcategories.

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 Subcategories

Tool to retrieve subcategories for a given category. use when you need to list or choose subcategories after selecting a category.

Why this helps

Category changes can create uncertainty about which email grouping to use in later campaigns.

  • Prompts a review when the underlying Notion schema changes.
  • Reduces guesswork about available Enginemailer subcategories.
  • Keeps category maintenance from becoming an untracked task.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Enginemailer to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation prompt to retrieve relevant Enginemailer subcategories when a specified email taxonomy data source changes.
  • 3Select Data Source Schema Updated and scope it to that data source.
  • 4Choose a run-report channel and test by making one real schema change.

Questions about this workflow

Does this change Enginemailer categories?

No. It retrieves available subcategories so you can review the options.

When should I use this?

Use it when a Notion schema update signals that your email category structure may need review.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Enginemailer actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Check Export Status V2

Tool to check status of a previously requested csv report export. use after initiating an export to poll for completion.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Create Campaign

Tool to create a new email campaign. use when you need to configure and schedule a campaign before sending.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Export CSV Report V2

Tool to export a transactional email report as csv. use when you need to initiate an export within a specific date range (max past 60 days).

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.

TriggerInstant

Get Subcategories

Tool to retrieve subcategories for a given category. use when you need to list or choose subcategories after selecting a category.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Insert Subscriber

Tool to add a new subscriber with optional custom fields. use when registering a user to a specific mailing list after verifying their email.

ActionInstant

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

List Campaign

Tool to retrieve a list of undelivered campaigns. use when you need to fetch campaigns awaiting delivery.

ActionInstant

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

Pause Campaign

Tool to pause a scheduled email campaign. use when you need to halt a campaign before sending to apply updates or adjust schedule.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Send Campaign

Tool to send an email campaign immediately. use when the campaign exists, has at least one recipient, and is not scheduled or already delivered. e.g., 'send campaign 123 now'.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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