Give a new dataset workflow a fresh handle
When you create a Notion database for a new initiative, have Notis generate a unique Gigasheet handle as an early preparation step for its dataset.
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
Generate New Handle
Tool to generate a new unique dataset handle. Use when you need a fresh FileUuid before creating or referencing datasets.
Why this helps
Starting a new data workflow can stall while you handle small setup chores and lose the context of the original idea.
- Handle a setup detail while the new database context is fresh.
- Reduce small manual steps before dataset preparation.
- Create a unique identifier for a connected workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Gigasheet to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation or ask Notis conversationally for the workflow.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to generate and report a fresh Gigasheet dataset handle when the relevant Notion database is created.
- 4Choose Database Created and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real database creation and retain the returned handle with the project context.
Questions about this workflow
Is this triggered by adding a data source to an existing database?
No. This trigger is for creation of the database container. Use Data Source Created for a new data source added to an existing database.
Does generating a handle import data?
No. It generates a unique dataset handle for later dataset setup or referencing.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Gigasheet. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Gigasheet actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Delete sheet or folder by handle
Tool to delete a sheet or folder by handle. Use after obtaining the handle of a sheet or empty folder. Set recursive=True to delete all children of a folder.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Client State Current Version
Tool to fetch the current client-state version metadata for a sheet. Use after obtaining a sheet handle to determine the current version identifier for creating views.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Connector Connections
Tool to list connector connections. Use after setting a valid Gigasheet API token.
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.
Get Dataset by Handle
Tool to get dataset metadata. Use after you have obtained the dataset handle.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Dataset Columns
Tool to list all column metadata (IDs, names, types) for a dataset. Use after obtaining a dataset handle.
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.
Get Dataset Export Download URL
Tool to retrieve the download URL for an exported dataset. Use after initiating an export and obtaining its handle.
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.
Get Dataset Views
Tool to list all views associated with a specific dataset. Use after confirming the dataset handle and its status.
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.
Get Docs Formulas Functions
Tool to retrieve all supported formula functions. Use after authenticating with a valid API token.
