Start a new safety data source with a shared baseline

When your team creates a new place to organize safety work, pair it with a quick view of the reporting activity it will help review.

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

FaceUp GraphQL Statistics Query

Tool to execute a graphql query to retrieve faceup statistics. use when you need to fetch or filter metrics (e.g., by date range or school ids).

Why this helps

A new tracking structure can collect information before anyone establishes how it relates to the wider reporting picture.

  • Prompt a baseline check when a new source of safety work is created.
  • Help owners connect new tracking structures with current measures.
  • Keep setup from becoming a series of disconnected tasks.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Faceup to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to query Faceup statistics when a safety data source is created.
  • 3Describe the safety context and measures the team should review as a baseline.
  • 4Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by creating one relevant data source or validate the trigger with a real event.

Questions about this workflow

Can a template create multiple trigger events?

Yes. A template-based database creation can produce one data source event per data source it creates.

Does this trigger when a whole database is created?

No. It fires when a data source is created; the separate Database Created event represents the container.

All Page Events

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

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
