Capture the purpose of new Notion data sources
When a new Notion data source appears, have Notis create a Drive note to record what it is for and how it should be used.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create File or Folder
Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
Why this helps
New databases and data sources can become confusing when their purpose is not written down at setup time.
- Creates a prompt to document a new workspace structure.
- Makes database purpose easier to understand later.
- Reduces the chance of undocumented tools accumulating.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Google Super to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Drive setup note when a new Notion data source is created.
- 4Select the Data Source Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real new data source and check the resulting file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run for new rows in a database?
No. Data Source Created fires when a new data source is created, not when a page is added.
Can the note explain the database's purpose?
Tell Notis what guidance to include in the file, based on available creation context.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Google Super. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Google Super 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.
Add file sharing preference
Modifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Modify email labels
Adds and/or removes specified gmail labels for a message; ensure `message id` and all `label ids` are valid (use 'listlabels' for custom label ids).
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.
Add or remove to customer list
Addorremovetocustomerlist tool will add a contact to a customer list in google ads. note: it takes 6 to 12 hours for changes to be reflected in the customer list.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Add Sheet to Spreadsheet
Adds a new sheet (worksheet) to a spreadsheet. use this tool to create a new tab within an existing google sheet, optionally specifying its title, index, size, and other properties.
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.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
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.
Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
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.
Batch Add Media Items
Adds one or more media items to an album in google photos.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Notion and Google Super, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
