Start the reference work when a database is created
Create the database, then let Notis kick off extraction for the document that explains how it should be used.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create Extraction
Tool to initiate a new document extraction process. use when you have prepared extraction details and need to start processing the document. returns a unique extraction id for tracking.
Why this helps
A newly created database may need a process guide, but documenting the setup is easy to postpone.
- Pairs database creation with a reference document task.
- Helps complete setup while the intended workflow is still fresh.
- Reduces the number of setup steps that must be remembered later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Extracta ai to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the desired outcome conversationally.
- 3Ask Notis to start an Extracta ai extraction for the reference document related to a new database.
- 4Select Database Created and choose where run reports should arrive.
- 5Test with one new database and a related accessible document.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as a database creation?
The trigger fires when a Notion database container is created, such as through the legacy API or Notion UI.
Does adding a data source count?
A data source added to an existing database has its own Data Source Created event.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Extracta ai. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Extracta ai actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Extraction
Tool to initiate a new document extraction process. use when you have prepared extraction details and need to start processing the document. returns a unique extraction id for tracking.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Extraction
Tool to delete an extraction process. use after confirming the extraction id to remove. example: delete extraction with id '123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000'.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
View Extraction
Tool to retrieve details of an existing extraction process. use after starting an extraction to monitor its status and retrieve results.
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.
