Create a Findymail list for a new prospect database

When you start a new Notion prospect database, create a corresponding Findymail list so the research has a clear home.

Trigger

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.

Action

Create Contact List

Tool to create a new contact list. use when you need to organize contacts into a named list before adding them.

Why this helps

Starting a new prospecting space often means remembering to organize the corresponding contacts elsewhere.

  • Give each new prospecting initiative a dedicated Findymail list.
  • Reduce setup tasks when starting a new database.
  • Keep list organization aligned with how you name work in Notion.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Findymail to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create a Findymail list for each new prospect database.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction to create a clearly named Findymail contact list that corresponds to the new Notion database.
  • 4Choose Database Created and a channel for run reports, then test by creating a real prospect database.

Questions about this workflow

Does this add contacts to the new list?

No. The available action creates a contact list; it does not add contacts.

Which Notion event should detect a new database container?

Database Created detects the database container creation event.

Verify Email

Tool to verify the deliverability of an email address. use when you need to confirm that an email can receive messages before outreach.

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

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.
