Give a new data source a clear file home
A new Notion data source can prompt a Files.com folder lookup, making storage easier to account for at setup time.
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
List Folders
Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve folders under a parent with pagination.
Why this helps
A new collection can quickly gather records before anyone has found the folders that support it.
- Discover file locations as the collection is introduced.
- Give the new workflow a practical storage reference.
- Avoid an extra search later when records need documents.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Files.com to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language prompt to list and report Files.com folders relevant to a newly created Notion data source.
- 3Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real data source creation.
Questions about this workflow
Can a template cause multiple runs?
Yes. A template may create multiple data sources and fire an event for each one.
Does the automation create a folder?
No. It lists existing folders for discovery.

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.
Delete API Key
Tool to delete an API key. Use when you need to revoke an API key after confirming its identifier.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Permission
Tool to delete a specified permission. Use when you need to remove a permission by its ID after verifying the identifier.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
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.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
List Folders
Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve folders under a parent with pagination.
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.
List Groups
Tool to list groups. Use when you need to retrieve a paginated list of all groups before performing group-related operations.
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.
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.
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.
