Create a Formbricks action class for a new Notion feedback database
Give a newly created feedback system the custom action logic it needs to support your process.
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 Action Class
Tool to create a new action class. Use when defining custom action logic in your environment.
Why this helps
A new workflow container can be ready before its supporting action logic is defined.
- Move supporting action setup into the launch sequence
- Reduce forgotten configuration work
- Keep custom action logic tied to the database purpose
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Formbricks to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what you need conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to create a Formbricks action class for new databases that represent a defined feedback process.
- 4Choose the Notion Database Created trigger and a channel for reports.
- 5Test with one real workflow database and check the action class created.
Questions about this workflow
What does the Create Action Class action do?
It creates a custom action class in Formbricks for logic defined in your environment.
Will this run when a data source is added to an existing database?
No. Database Created covers a new database container. A data source created inside an existing database is a separate event.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Formbricks. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Formbricks actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Action Class
Tool to create a new action class. Use when defining custom action logic in your environment.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Attribute Class
Tool to create an attribute class in Formbricks. Use when you need to define new attribute classes for segmentation or attributes management.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Contact
Tool to create a new contact. Use when you need to register a contact in a Formbricks environment.
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.
Create Display
Tool to mark a survey as displayed or link it to a response. Use after obtaining the survey and environment IDs to register a display instance.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Survey Response
Tool to create a response for a survey. Use after collecting all survey answers.
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.
Create Survey
Tool to create a new survey. Use after defining survey details and questions.
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.
Create Webhook
Tool to create a new webhook. Use when you need to register an external endpoint to receive form response events.
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.
Delete Attribute Class
Tool to delete an attribute class. Use when you need to remove an attribute class by its ID after confirming it's no longer needed.
