Automatically log Notion comment threads to BigQuery
Comments in Notion drive collaboration but exist in silos. Notis logs every comment thread to BigQuery so you can see which pages spark the most discussion and measure team collaboration.
Trigger
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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
Team collaboration happens in Notion comments but there's no way to measure engagement, find decision-making threads, or track who's most engaged in discussion.
- Measure collaboration by querying comment volume and patterns
- Find decision-making threads and project discussions easily
- Identify engaged team members and subject matter experts
- Spot collaboration bottlenecks or over-concentration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion workspace to Notis and verify 'Read comments' capability is enabled.
- 2Connect Google BigQuery to Notis.
- 3Ask Notis: 'When a new comment is added to Notion pages, log the page title, page ID, comment text, commenter email, thread depth, timestamp, and comment count to BigQuery.'
- 4Select 'New Comment' as the trigger and optionally scope to specific pages.
- 5Pick your reporting channel.
- 6Test by commenting on a Notion page and verifying the record in BigQuery.
Questions about this workflow
Can I track comments on specific pages only?
Yes. Notis can filter to log comments from only certain pages, databases, or teamspaces.
Does this capture threaded replies or just top-level comments?
Both. Notion includes thread depth info in the event, so Notis captures the full thread structure.
How do I measure collaboration from this data?
Query total comments per page, comments per person, average thread depth, comment frequency trends, etc. Notis can help build these queries.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Google BigQuery. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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

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.
