Keep photo context aligned with asset notes
Update an asset record in Notion and let Notis refresh the description of the related Google Photos item with the new context.
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
Update Media Item
Updates a media item's description in google photos.
Why this helps
A photo description can become stale after an asset's campaign, usage, or ownership details change.
- Keep the reason for a visual close to the image.
- Reduce repeated searches through old project notes.
- Refresh descriptions when asset context changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Google Photos to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to update the relevant Google Photos description when a Notion asset record changes.
- 3Choose Page Properties Updated for the relevant Notion data source and describe how to identify the matching photo in one instruction.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with one asset whose related photo is easy to recognize.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which photo to update?
Explain in the prompt how the Notion record identifies the photo, such as a title or other recognizable context, then validate with a real example.
Does this change the photo itself?

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Googlephotos. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Googlephotos actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Enrichment
Adds an enrichment at a specified position in a defined album.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Batch Add Media Items
Adds one or more media items to an album in google photos.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Batch Create Media Items
Unified action to upload media files and create them as items in google photos.
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.
Batch Get Media Items
Returns the list of media items for the specified media item identifiers.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Album
Creates a new album in google photos.
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 Album
Returns the album based on the specified albumid.
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.
Download Photos Media Item
Downloads a media item from google photos and returns it as a file.
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.
List Albums
Lists all albums shown to a user in the albums tab of google photos.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Notion and Googlephotos, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
