Prepare a new location data source for address lookup

Make a fresh location tracker ready to resolve addresses as useful records arrive.

Trigger

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.

Action

Forward Geocoding

Tool to perform forward geocoding lookup by address or place name. Use when you need to convert a query string into geographic coordinates and structured address information.

Why this helps

A new database can add another place to remember a recurring address lookup process.

  • Establish location lookup as part of a new tracker setup.
  • Avoid forgetting how to enrich addresses in a new workflow.
  • Keep future address research consistent.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Geokeo to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3In one plain-language instruction, ask Notis to geocode addresses from the location tracker as pages arrive and report the result.
  • 4Select Notion Data Source Created as the setup signal and choose a channel for run reports; create a separate page-triggered automation if you want lookups on future rows.
  • 5Test the follow-on lookup with one real address after the data source is ready.

Questions about this workflow

Does creating a data source itself contain an address to look up?

Usually not. This trigger is useful as a setup signal; page-level address lookups should be tied to a page creation or update trigger.

Why is a separate trigger mentioned?

The data source creation event fires when the structure is created, while new records arrive through page events.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Recurring trigger

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

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

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.

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.

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.
