Give status changes a visual cue
A status change can mark meaningful momentum or a new blocker. Let Notis search for a GIF that fits the update so it is easier to register and remember.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
GIPHY: Search GIFs
Tool to search GIPHY's GIF library. Use when you need to find GIFs by keyword or phrase.
Why this helps
Status changes can blend into a stream of updates, making progress and blockers harder to notice.
- Make a changed status easier to notice with a matching visual.
- Bring attention to progress or a newly recorded blocker.
- Avoid manual GIF searches after routine tracking updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Giphy to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis through a connected channel.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to search Giphy for a GIF that fits the updated work status and return it.
- 4Choose Page Properties Updated for the relevant database and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test by changing the status of one real work item.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose which property changes matter?
The trigger can be scoped to a data source. In the plain-language instruction, describe which update context should guide the search.
Does this update the item further?
No. It searches for a GIF and returns the result through your selected channel.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Giphy. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Giphy actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Giphy Analytics Register
Tool to register user interactions (view, click, send) with a GIF for analytics. Use when you have the analytics payload, timestamp, and user ID to record the event.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Emoji Variations
Tool to fetch variations for a specific emoji. Use when you have an emoji's GIF ID and want its variations.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get GIF by ID
Tool to fetch GIF metadata by its unique ID. Use when you have a valid GIF ID to retrieve metadata.
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 GIFs by IDs
Tool to fetch metadata for multiple GIFs by their IDs. Use when you need information on up to 100 known GIF IDs.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Sticker by ID
Tool to fetch sticker metadata by its unique ID. Use when you have a valid sticker ID to retrieve metadata.
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 Stickers by IDs
Tool to fetch metadata for multiple stickers by their IDs. Use when you need information on up to 100 known sticker IDs.
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.
GIPHY Categories
Tool to fetch a list of GIF categories on GIPHY. Use when you need to browse available categories before selecting one.
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.
GIPHY: Get Category by ID
Tool to fetch metadata for a GIF category by its unique ID. Use when you need details for a specific category identifier.
