Give new data sources a clear job

When a Notion data source is created, ask Entelligence to review its apparent purpose and flag questions about its intended use.

Trigger

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.

Action

Interact with the repository agent

Send a question and related information to the repository agent and receive a streaming response

Why this helps

A new database can add another place to check without making its purpose clear.

  • Make the purpose of a new data source easier to articulate.
  • Surface unanswered questions about its intended use.
  • Reduce workspace sprawl by prompting an early review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Entelligence to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to have Entelligence review newly created Notion data sources.
  • 3Describe in one plain-language instruction what purpose, usage questions, or organization concerns to examine.
  • 4Choose the Notion Data Source Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real data source creation and check the response.

Questions about this workflow

What context is available for a new data source?

The event includes parent context. The prompt can ask Notis to provide relevant available information for Entelligence to assess.

Can this help prevent duplicate databases?

It can prompt a review of whether the new source has a clear role. It does not automatically merge or remove data sources.

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

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

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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.

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.
