Carry Approved Category Decisions into Expofp
Let Notis notice the decision in a planning comment and update the matching category when the details are complete.
Trigger
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.
Action
Update Category
Tool to update an existing category. use when you have the category id and a valid api token. example: "update category #1 name to 'category blue'."
Why this helps
Decisions made in comment threads are easy to miss, so the event setup may keep the old category name.
- Reduce follow-up on decisions already made.
- Keep a specific category tied to its approved rename.
- Avoid acting on tentative discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Expofp to Notis once, including Notion comment access.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to update an existing Expofp category only when a Notion comment clearly approves a rename and provides the expo and category IDs.
- 4Select Comment Created and choose where to receive run reports.
- 5Test with one real approval comment.
Questions about this workflow
Does comment access need extra setup?
The Notion connection needs the Read comments capability; a connection authorized before that capability was enabled may need reauthorization.
Will discussion alone trigger a rename?
The instruction should require explicit approval and the identifiers needed to update the existing category.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Expofp. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Expofp actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Category
Tool to add a new category to an expo. use when you have both the expo event id and a valid api token. example: "add category 'keynotes' to event 2655."
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List All Expo Extras
Tool to list all extras for an expo. use after obtaining a valid exporter api token and expo event id. example: "list all extras for event 2655."
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List All Expos
Tool to list all expos. uses mock api endpoint for testing.
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.
Remove Category
Tool to remove a category from an expo. use when you have the category id and a valid api token. example: "remove category #123."
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Update Category
Tool to update an existing category. use when you have the category id and a valid api token. example: "update category #1 name to 'category blue'."
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.
