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
Fires when a new comment is created in the accessible workspace.
Action
Query
Runs a SQL query in BigQuery, including statements that can modify data.
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.
