Refresh a research list after schema changes

When a research data source changes shape, prompt a small batch review so related analysis does not fall off the list.

Trigger

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.

Action

Predict Gender Batch

Tool to predict gender for multiple names in a single request. Use when batch gender predictions for several names at once.

Why this helps

Structural changes often create follow-up chores that are easy to forget once attention moves to the next task.

  • Turn a structural change into a visible research follow-up.
  • Batch a small list instead of triggering repeated manual checks.
  • Keep estimates available for human review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Genderize to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
  • 3Use one instruction to review the relevant research list after a schema change, request estimates for up to ten explicitly supplied first names, and report confidence.
  • 4Select Data Source Schema Updated for the intended data source and choose a reporting channel.
  • 5Test with one real schema update and confirm the prompt handles the resulting context.

Questions about this workflow

Will adding a property create many page triggers?

A schema update can also fire page property events for existing rows. This workflow uses the schema event as the single structural-change signal.

Does a schema event contain the names?

The event indicates a schema change. The prompt should direct Notis to the relevant Notion research list for any names to process.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Predict Gender

Tool to predict gender from a given first name. Use when you need a quick gender estimation possibly localized by country code.

Webhook trigger

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

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Batch Predict Gender with Localization

Tool to predict genders for a batch of names with optional country localization. Use after gathering 1-10 first names when needing localized gender estimates by country.

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
