Start a new finance data source with rate context

A new finance data source can mark the start of a fresh process. Ask Notis to fetch recent rates for the currencies named in its purpose or setup notes and provide a baseline reference.

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

Get Latest Rates

Tool to retrieve the most recent exchange rates. Use when you need current currency conversion rates for all or specified currencies.

Why this helps

Starting a new tracker without currency context can lead to repeated setup questions and scattered reference checks.

  • Pair a new tracker with an initial rates reference.
  • Reduce repeated lookup work during setup.
  • Keep the information in the automation's run-report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Fixer.io to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation by asking Notis or using the portal.
  • 3Instruct Notis to retrieve latest rates for the currencies relevant to each newly created finance data source and summarize them.
  • 4Choose Data Source Created and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by creating a finance data source with its intended currencies described.

Questions about this workflow

Will it know the intended currencies automatically?

Describe the currencies or their source in the plain-language instruction; Notis interprets the event context.

Does it create a baseline record?

This workflow retrieves and reports rates. It does not create another Notion record.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Fixer io actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Convert Currency

Tool to convert an amount from one currency to another. Use when you need current or historical exchange rates. Specify `date` for historical rates.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Get Currency Fluctuations

Tool to fetch exchange rate fluctuations between two dates. Use when you need day-to-day currency rate changes.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Get Historical Rates

Tool to fetch historical exchange rates for a specific date. Use when you need past currency rates.

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 Latest Rates

Tool to retrieve the most recent exchange rates. Use when you need current currency conversion rates for all or specified currencies.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Get Supported Symbols

Tool to retrieve the list of all available currency symbols and their corresponding names. Use when you need to fetch and display supported currency codes.

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.

Get Time Series

Tool to retrieve daily exchange rates for a specified period. Use when you need historical FX rates between two dates (max 365 days).

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.
