Pair new Notion data sources with a Helpdesk field inventory
Starting a new tracking area? Have Notis show the available Helpdesk custom fields while you decide how the systems should work together.
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
List Custom Fields
Tool to list all custom fields defined in the account. Use when you need to view or manage custom fields. Only callable after authentication.
Why this helps
Setting up a new workflow often means searching for available fields across tools before you can make a clear plan.
- Retrieve the current Helpdesk custom-field list when a data source is created.
- Give workflow planning the right account context.
- Avoid a separate manual lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Helpdesk to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to list Helpdesk custom fields when a Notion data source is created.
- 3Pick the Notion Data Source Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by creating one real data source and review the field inventory.
Questions about this workflow
Will this change Helpdesk fields?
No. The action retrieves the custom-field list for reference.
Can one Notion template cause several runs?
Yes. A template-based database can create multiple data sources and trigger an event for each one.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Helpdesk. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Helpdesk actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
List Agents
Tool to list agents. Use when you need to retrieve all agents on the account.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List Canned Responses
Tool to list canned responses. Use when you need to retrieve all predefined reply templates for tickets.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List Contacts
Tool to list contacts. Use when you need to retrieve contacts with optional filters and pagination.
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.
List Custom Fields
Tool to list all custom fields defined in the account. Use when you need to view or manage custom fields. Only callable after authentication.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
List Email Domains
Tool to list email domains configured for the account. Use when you need to retrieve all configured email domains after authenticating.
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.
List Licenses
Tool to list all licenses for an account. Use when you need to retrieve license configurations.
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.
List Reply Addresses
Tool to retrieve reply addresses. Use when you need to fetch all configured reply email addresses.
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 Rules
Tool to retrieve a list of rules configured in the account. Use after authentication when you need an overview of all automation rules.
