Understand the impact of a database schema change
When a Notion data source schema changes, ask Entelligence to identify implications worth checking before the new structure spreads.
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.

Why this helps
A renamed, added, or removed property can alter how information is interpreted downstream.
- Get a prompt to consider downstream reporting implications.
- Notice when a structural change may affect existing analysis.
- Keep database changes easier to reason about.
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 send Notion data source schema changes to Entelligence for review.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction which implications or checks you want considered.
- 4Choose the Notion Data Source Schema Updated trigger, scoped to a data source if useful, and select a channel for reports.
- 5Test with one real schema change and review the analysis.
Questions about this workflow
What schema changes trigger this workflow?
The trigger fires when a data source column is added, removed, or renamed. Its event includes updated property details.
Can it change other systems to match?
This workflow asks the Entelligence repository agent to analyze implications. It does not automatically update other systems.

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
