Verify vendor claims before they become decisions
Capture a vendor in Notion and ask Firecrawl to collect structured evidence from its public site, ready for a more informed review.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Extract structured data
Extracts structured data from web pages by initiating an extraction job and polling for completion; requires a natural language `prompt` or a json `schema` (one must be provided).
Why this helps
Vendor evaluation can stall when you have to revisit websites and manually hunt for proof of each claim.
- Collect website evidence at the point a vendor enters your review process.
- Reduce repeated visits to pricing, security, and product pages.
- Give future decisions a clearer source trail.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Firecrawl to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation by asking Notis in plain language or using Automations in the portal.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use Firecrawl structured extraction to gather evidence relevant to your vendor review.
- 4Select the Notion New Page trigger, choose where run reports should go, and test with one vendor record that includes its website.
Questions about this workflow
What does Firecrawl extract?
It extracts structured data from web pages based on the natural-language prompt or a schema supplied by the automation.
Can it verify information that is not public?

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Firecrawl. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Firecrawl actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Cancel a crawl job
Cancels an active or queued web crawl job using its id; attempting to cancel completed, failed, or previously canceled jobs will not change their state.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Start a web crawl
Initiates a firecrawl web crawl from a given url, applying various filtering and content extraction rules, and polls until the job is complete; ensure the url is accessible and any regex patterns for paths are valid.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Extract structured data
Extracts structured data from web pages by initiating an extraction job and polling for completion; requires a natural language `prompt` or a json `schema` (one must be provided).
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 the status of a crawl job
Retrieves the current status, progress, and details of a web crawl job, using the job id obtained when the crawl was initiated.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Map multiple URLs
Maps a website by discovering urls from a starting base url, with options to customize the crawl via search query, subdomain inclusion, sitemap handling, and result limits; search effectiveness is site-dependent.
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.
Scrape URL
Scrapes a publicly accessible url, optionally performing pre-scrape browser actions or extracting structured json using an llm, to retrieve content in specified formats.
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.
Search
Performs a web search for a query, scrapes content from the top search results using firecrawl, and returns details in specified formats.
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.
