See who can access vendor files from the record

A new vendor record can cue a current permission list for its referenced file resource, helping you spot access that needs review.

Trigger

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

Action

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.

Why this helps

Vendor files may have inherited access that is hard to remember when the relationship is first recorded.

  • Establish visibility into file access when a vendor is added.
  • Keep permission findings near the vendor workflow.
  • Make access decisions with current information.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Files.com to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to inspect and report permissions for the Files.com resource referenced by a new vendor record.
  • 3Select the Notion New Page trigger for the vendor data source.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real vendor record that references a test resource.

Questions about this workflow

Will this restrict vendor access?

No. It only lists existing permissions for review.

What if no resource is referenced?

Tell Notis in the prompt to report the missing reference rather than guess a resource.

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.
