Carry approved field wording from Notion into Formdesk

Close the loop between an approved Notion label and the form field people see.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Action

Update Field

Tool to update an existing field definition on a Formdesk form. Use when you need to modify field properties like label or validation rules.

Why this helps

Approved wording can sit in a planning database while the form keeps showing old labels.

  • Apply approved labels without a second manual reminder.
  • Keep form wording consistent with the decision recorded in Notion.
  • Reduce the chance of shipping outdated questions.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Formdesk to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to update a named Formdesk field when its Notion record is marked approved.
  • 3Select Page Properties Updated for the relevant data source, choose a report channel, and test with one approved label change.

Questions about this workflow

Will it act on every property change?

The instruction should tell Notis to act only when the relevant approval state and field reference indicate a confirmed change.

Can the action change any field setting?

Update Field changes an existing field definition; describe the exact approved change in the instruction.

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.
