Start a new support database with open work in view
Creating a new support database is a good moment to see which customer conversations are already active.
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
Get Tickets
Retrieves a list of tickets from freshdesk.
Why this helps
Starting a fresh support tracker without reviewing existing tickets can split attention across old and new workflows.
- Review current ticket work when establishing a new tracker.
- Reduce the chance of active issues falling between systems.
- Get useful context for a support workflow reset.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Freshdesk to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one prompt to retrieve Freshdesk tickets and summarize open work when the chosen support database is created.
- 4Select Database Created and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real database creation and review the ticket snapshot.
Questions about this workflow
What does Database Created detect?
It detects the Notion database container creation event, including many databases created through the UI or legacy API.
Does it detect a new data source inside an existing database?
No. Use Data Source Created for a new data source added to an existing database.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Freshdesk. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Freshdesk actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Ticket
Creates a new ticket in freshdesk.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Ticket
Deletes an existing ticket in freshdesk.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Tickets
Retrieves a list of tickets from freshdesk.
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.
List All Tickets
Lists all tickets in freshdesk.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Reply to Ticket
Replies to an existing ticket in freshdesk.
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.
Update Ticket
Updates an existing ticket in freshdesk.
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.
View Ticket
Views an existing ticket in freshdesk.
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.
