Keep Faraday traits aligned with their Notion definitions
Let an updated trait definition prompt the corresponding Faraday refresh, so a follow-up does not depend on remembering later.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Force Update Trait
Tool to trigger a rerun for a trait. Use when you need to force rebuild a trait's data.
Why this helps
Revised trait documentation can be left behind while downstream analysis keeps using stale trait data.
- Links data-definition changes to trait maintenance.
- Reduces reliance on memory for technical follow-up.
- Helps analysis use more current trait data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Faraday to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in conversation.
- 3Describe in one instruction how a relevant Notion definition edit should force-update a Faraday trait.
- 4Choose Page Properties Updated for the trait-definition data source and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one definition change and verify the trait rerun.
Questions about this workflow
Will a trait be created if it does not exist?
This workflow uses Force Update Trait, which reruns a trait resource. Use it when the corresponding trait already exists.
What is the trigger scope?
The properties-updated trigger can be scoped to a data source, page, or parent page.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Faraday. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Faraday actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Archive Cohort
Tool to archive a cohort in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a cohort while keeping it visible.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Archive Connection
Tool to archive a connection in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a connection while keeping it visible.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Archive Dataset
Tool to archive a dataset in Faraday. Use when you need to archive a dataset and optionally its downstream resources. Archiving stops updates to the resource but keeps it visible.
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.
Archive Outcome
Tool to archive an outcome in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to an outcome while keeping it visible.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Archive Persona Set
Tool to archive a persona set in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a persona set while keeping it visible.
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.
Archive Place
Tool to archive a place in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a geospatial area or address set while keeping it visible.
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.
Archive Scope
Tool to archive a scope in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a scope while keeping it visible.
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.
Archive Stream
Tool to archive a stream in Faraday. Use when you need to archive a stream and optionally its downstream resources. Archiving stops updates to the resource but keeps it visible.
