Begin an Everhour focus session from Notion
Use a simple work-start update in Notion to cue time tracking and get into the task sooner.
Trigger
Page Content Updated
Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).
Action
Start Timer
Tool to start a new timer for a task. use when you need to begin tracking time on a specific task.
Why this helps
Repeated setup steps before focused work make it easy to postpone tracking or lose momentum.
- Reduce friction at the start of a focus block.
- Make time tracking part of an existing work-start routine.
- Keep attention on the task instead of tool setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Everhour to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis how your focus-start signal works.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to start the timer for the matching Everhour task when the work page is updated to begin.
- 4Choose the Notion Page Content Updated trigger for the designated page and a reporting channel.
- 5Test the start routine with a real task and confirm the timer.
Questions about this workflow
Can the trigger watch my focus page only?
Yes. Scope Page Content Updated to a specific Notion page.
Does the timer action need an existing task?
Yes. The relevant task needs to exist in Everhour.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Everhour. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Everhour actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Client
Tool to create a new client in everhour. use when you need to add a client before tracking time or assigning it to projects.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete a client
Tool to delete a client. use when you need to permanently remove a client from everhour after confirming the client id.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List Clients
Tool to list all clients. use when you need an overview of workspace clients.
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.
List Expenses
Tool to retrieve all expenses. use when you need to review expense records across your workspace.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Client by ID
Tool to retrieve a specific client by id. use when you need detailed client information after obtaining the client's id.
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 Project
Tool to retrieve a specific project. use after you have the project id if you need its details.
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.
Get Section
Tool to retrieve a specific section. use when you need detailed section data by its id.
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.
Get Authenticated User Profile
Tool to retrieve profile information of the authenticated user. use after providing api key to fetch current user's profile details.
