Automatically log Notion comments to BigQuery
Conversations in Notion comments are invisible to reporting. Notis captures every comment as a BigQuery record so you can track who's collaborating, what's being discussed, and when.
Trigger
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.
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
Comments in Notion are scattered across pages and hard to search. You can't see who's collaborating most, what topics are discussed, or build metrics on team engagement.
- See which pages spark the most discussion and collaboration
- Track feedback and decision-making conversations in one searchable place
- Identify bottlenecks by finding pages with high comment volume
- Build dashboards on team communication patterns
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion to Notis and confirm the 'Read comments' capability is enabled on your integration.
- 2Connect Google BigQuery to Notis.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a new comment is created in Notion, log the page ID, page title, comment text, commenter email, timestamp, and any threads to BigQuery.'
- 4Select 'Comment Created' as the trigger.
- 5Choose your reporting channel.
- 6Test by commenting on a Notion page and checking BigQuery for the new record.
Questions about this workflow
Will this capture comment threads and replies?
Yes. Notion includes thread nesting info in the comment event, so Notis can log parent-child comment relationships.
Do I need special permissions to read comments?
Yes. The Notion integration must have the 'Read comments' capability enabled. If you connected before that capability existed, you may need to re-authorize your Notion connection.
Can I filter to comments on specific pages?
Yes. Notis can scope the trigger to log comments only from certain pages or databases.

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.
