Give a new Notion data source a useful first step
Create a data source and let its reference material start processing while you set up the rest of the workspace.
Trigger
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.
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
Workspace setup creates many small follow-ups, and reference documents are easy to leave for later.
- Turns data source creation into a cue for document intake.
- Reduces the setup checklist founders need to hold in mind.
- Starts extracting reference material earlier in the workflow.
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 ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis what reference document to process in Extracta ai when a new data source is created.
- 4Select Data Source Created and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating a data source with its related document available and verify the extraction starts.
Questions about this workflow
Could one template create multiple runs?
Yes. A template based database creation can create multiple data sources and emit multiple events.
Can this extract the data source itself?
The action starts document extraction, so describe the related document and its accessible location in the prompt.

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.
