Make new Notion data sources easier to operationalize

When a new data source appears, let Notis create a structured follow-up submission for the setup work it requires.

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

Submit Form

Tool to submit form data and files to a Getform endpoint. Use when you need to post fields, files, optional reCAPTCHA or honeypot to a specific form ID.

Why this helps

A newly created data source may need operational setup that gets lost among other founder tasks.

  • Surface setup work at the moment it appears.
  • Keep new structural work from slipping into a backlog gap.
  • Use a simple submission to launch follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Getform to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation or ask Notis to submit a setup request to Getform whenever a new Notion data source is created.
  • 3Select Data Source Created and describe the relevant setup context in the prompt.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with a new data source when practical.

Questions about this workflow

Does this fire when a database container is created?

This trigger is for a data source created in an existing database. Database container creation is a separate Notion event.

Can template creation cause multiple submissions?

Yes. A template-based database creation can produce multiple data source events. Account for that in the prompt and downstream process.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Getform actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Get Form Submission

Tool to retrieve a specific submission by its ID. Use when you have both form_id and submission_id and need that single record.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Get Form Submissions

Tool to retrieve submissions for a specific form. Use when you have a form ID and need paginated, searchable submissions optionally including file URLs.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Submit Form

Tool to submit form data and files to a Getform endpoint. Use when you need to post fields, files, optional reCAPTCHA or honeypot to a specific form ID.

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.
