Examples

Ways Notis can move work from Notion to Formdesk

View example

Turn Notion project requests into Formdesk entries

When a project request is added to a Notion database, submit its useful details as a Formdesk entry so the request is captured in your intake system.

View example

Refresh Formdesk intake entries when Notion status changes

When a Notion intake item's properties change, fetch the relevant Formdesk entries so you can review submission status alongside the updated request.

View example

Check Formdesk fields when you add a service page

When you create a Notion page for a new service, retrieve the Formdesk fields so you can check what information its intake form collects.

View example

Look up a Formdesk entry from a Notion follow-up comment

When a comment is added in Notion about a submission, retrieve the specified Formdesk entry details to bring the response back into the follow-up conversation.

View example

Update Formdesk metadata after Notion form copy changes

When the content of a designated Notion page changes, ask Notis to update the related Formdesk form metadata using the new approved copy.

View example

Inspect Formdesk form details for a new campaign brief

When a campaign brief is added to a Notion database, retrieve the relevant Formdesk form details to check the destination before launching.

View example

Apply approved Notion wording to a Formdesk field

When a Notion page property changes to indicate field wording is approved, update the named Formdesk field definition with that approved label.

View example

Create a multi-page Formdesk form for a new Notion program

When a new Notion data source signals a program setup, create a multi-page Formdesk form for the program's intake flow.

View example

Add a standard field to a Formdesk form when a Notion database is created

Use creation of a Notion database as a setup signal to add a specified standard field to the associated Formdesk form.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Formdesk actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Automatic Login

Tool to perform automatic login to Formdesk and retrieve an access token. Use when you need to authenticate with username and password.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Create Formdesk Entry

Tool to submit a new entry to a Formdesk form. Use after collecting all form field values to send a new entry for a specific formId. Example: "Submit entry to form 12345 with first_name='Bob', email='bob@example.com'."

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Create Field

Tool to create a new field in a specific Formdesk form. Use after you have the formId and need to extend the form schema with an additional input.

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

Create Visitor

Tool to add a new visitor to a specific Formdesk form. Use when you need to register a visitor's metadata (e.g., name, email) before submitting entries.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Delete Formdesk Entry

Tool to delete a specific entry from a Formdesk form. Use after confirming the target entry exists.

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

Delete Field in Formdesk

Tool to delete a specific field in a Formdesk form. Use after confirming formId and fieldId.

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

Delete Form in Formdesk

Tool to delete a specific form. Use when you need to permanently remove a form after confirming it's no longer needed.

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.

TriggerInstant

Delete Visitor in Formdesk

Tool to delete a specific visitor in a Formdesk form. Use after confirming formId and visitorId.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
