Keep new Notion views connected to billing context

When you build a view to manage work, get a quick look at the FreshBooks businesses related to its purpose.

Trigger

View Created

Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.

Action

List Businesses

Tool to list all businesses associated with the authenticated user.

Why this helps

New views can improve organization while leaving it unclear which billing workspace contains the related work.

  • Link a new work view to a billing context check.
  • Use the view purpose to guide the business summary.
  • Reduce later detective work across finance accounts.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and FreshBooks to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to list FreshBooks businesses when a Notion view is created.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction describing the view's purpose and asking for relevant business context.
  • 4Choose View Created as the trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real new view.

Questions about this workflow

Does this run when I change an existing view?

The supplied trigger fires when a new view is created.

Can the view type drive the lookup?

The event includes view type context; the prompt can ask Notis to use that context when summarizing.

All Page Events

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

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

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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.

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.
