Keep your Excel table ready for Notion schema changes

When your database structure evolves, give your spreadsheet a matching place for the new information.

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

Add Table Column

Add a column to a table using microsoft graph api.

Why this helps

A new Notion property can make a spreadsheet-based review feel incomplete until someone remembers to update its structure.

  • Make structural changes more visible.
  • Keep spreadsheet review formats easier to maintain.
  • Reduce the admin needed after adding a property.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Excel to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation asking Notis to add an Excel table column when a new property is added to the selected Notion data source.
  • 3Pick Data Source Schema Updated and scope it to the data source.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Add one test property and verify the Excel table structure.

Questions about this workflow

Will this fire for row edits too?

This trigger is for schema changes such as adding, removing, or renaming columns.

Can Notis add the new column automatically?

Use Add Table Column as the action and describe how the spreadsheet should reflect the schema change.

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.

Add Workbook Permission

Tool to grant access to a workbook via invite. use when you need to share a specific workbook file with designated recipients and roles.

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.
