Automatically capture daily Notion database statistics in BigQuery
Weekly reports lag by the time you read them. Notis takes a daily snapshot of your Notion databases (row counts, schema state, update frequency) and logs it to BigQuery so you always have fresh data.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Query
Query tool will run a sql query in bigquery. note: make sure the query being input in a single line format. for example, select * from sample dataset.sample table where column name = 'value'
Why this helps
By the time weekly reports land, the data is stale. You can't see if database growth is accelerating or spot trends without manual daily checks.
- Fresh daily metrics without manual checking or weekly lag
- Spot growth spikes or slowdowns immediately
- Build trend dashboards on daily snapshots
- Alert when database metrics cross thresholds
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion workspace to Notis.
- 2Connect Google BigQuery to Notis.
- 3Tell Notis: 'Every morning at 8 AM, query our Notion databases and insert the row count, last update timestamp, and column count for each database into a BigQuery daily_stats table.'
- 4Select 'Scheduled (cron)' as the trigger and pick the time and frequency (e.g., daily, weekly).
- 5Choose your reporting channel.
- 6Let Notis run for a few days so you have sample data, then build a dashboard.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the time the snapshot runs?
Yes. Tell Notis what time and timezone you want the daily snapshot, and it will adjust.
What if a database is empty or has no recent updates?
Notis logs zeros or null values, so empty databases still appear in the snapshot and your dashboards.
Can I snapshot individual databases or does this query all of them?
You can ask Notis to snapshot all databases or filter to specific ones.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Google BigQuery. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Google BigQuery actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Query
Query tool will run a sql query in bigquery. note: make sure the query being input in a single line format. for example, select * from sample dataset.sample table where column name = 'value'
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.
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.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
