Carry one useful question into the next cycle

Retrospectives can surface lessons without making the next cycle easier. Notis can check recent Exist correlations and return one question to help you notice a pattern next time.

Trigger

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

Action

Get Correlations

Tool to retrieve a paginated list of recent correlations. use when exploring relationships between your tracked attributes, optionally filtering by strength or attribute.

Why this helps

Retrospective insights are easy to lose when they do not turn into a concrete observation for the next cycle.

  • Pair a retrospective with a clear follow-up question.
  • Use available correlations as a prompt for what to observe.
  • Make the next cycle easier to review without adding a new process.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Exist to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Request a recent Exist correlation check when a retrospective is added and one follow-up question for the next cycle.
  • 4Select Notion's New Page trigger for the retrospective data source and choose where run reports should appear.
  • 5Add one retrospective record to test.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create the follow-up task?

No. The listed Exist action fetches correlations; this workflow returns a question through the selected run-report channel.

Can the prompt avoid a long report?

Yes. Ask for one question and a concise explanation in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Exist actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Get User Profile

Tool to retrieve the authenticated user's profile details and preferences. use after authentication to inspect account settings and status.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Exist OAuth2 Authorize

Tool to initiate the oauth2 authorization flow for user consent. use when you need an authorization code before exchanging for an access token.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Exist OAuth2 Authorize

Tool to initiate the oauth2 authorization flow for user consent. use when you need to obtain an authorization code before exchanging for an access token.

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 Attribute Templates

Tool to retrieve a paged list of supported attribute templates. use when you need to browse available templates before creating or updating data.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Get Correlations

Tool to retrieve a paginated list of recent correlations. use when exploring relationships between your tracked attributes, optionally filtering by strength or attribute.

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

Get User Attributes

Tool to retrieve a paged list of the user's attributes without values. use when you need metadata on available attributes for filtering or selection.

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

Get User Profile

Tool to retrieve the authenticated user's profile details and preferences. use after authentication to inspect account settings and status.

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.
