Examples

Ways Notis can move work from Notion to Files com

View example

Find the right Files.com folder for a new client

When a new client record appears in Notion, look through Files.com folders so the right workspace is easy to find before onboarding work begins.

View example

Prepare a Files.com upload for a new project brief

When a project brief is created in Notion, have Notis prepare a temporary Files.com upload key for the local brief file and report the next step.

View example

Review file access when an approval changes

When a Notion page's properties change, inspect Files.com permissions for the referenced resource and summarize who has access for a human review.

View example

Prepare an upload when a deliverable is revised

A content update to a Notion deliverable page can prompt preparation of a temporary Files.com upload key for the revised local file.

View example

Check file access after an access question

When a Notion comment raises an access question, inspect the relevant Files.com permissions and report the current access list for review.

View example

Look up folders for a new client subpage

When a subpage is added under a client hub in Notion, list Files.com folders to help locate the client's existing files.

View example

Review file folders after a database schema change

A Notion data source schema update can cue a Files.com folder review so a newly changed workflow has its relevant storage locations at hand.

View example

Surface file folders when a new Notion view is created

When a new Notion view is created, list relevant Files.com folders so the new way of organizing work has its storage context nearby.

View example

Find file locations when a database is created

A new Notion database can prompt a Files.com folder listing to help establish where its related files already live.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Files com. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Files com actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Delete API Key

Tool to delete an API key. Use when you need to revoke an API key after confirming its identifier.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Delete Permission

Tool to delete a specified permission. Use when you need to remove a permission by its ID after verifying the identifier.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Delete Share

Tool to delete a specified share link. Use when you need to revoke access to a shared item after confirming its share ID.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Get S3 Key for Upload

Tool to generate a temporary key for file uploads by uploading the file to Files.com. Useful when you need to host a local file temporarily before importing or sharing.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

List Folders

Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve folders under a parent with pagination.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

List Groups

Tool to list groups. Use when you need to retrieve a paginated list of all groups before performing group-related operations.

ActionInstant

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

List Permissions

Tool to retrieve permissions for a specified resource. Use when you need to inspect who has access and what level for a given file or folder.

ActionInstant

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.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
