Move grant planning into opportunity discovery
Update a grant idea in Notion and let Notis use Highergov to surface opportunities worth investigating.
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
Get Grant Opportunities
Tool to retrieve information on grant opportunities. Use when you need a paginated list of grants filtered by keyword, agency, or status.
Why this helps
Grant research often becomes a separate task that is easy to postpone after updating a plan.
- Connect an evolving grant plan to discovery.
- Spend less time reopening searches after a plan changes.
- Keep the next research step close to the planning context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Highergov to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt asking Notis to search Highergov grant opportunities using the context of an updated grant planning page.
- 3Choose Notion Page Properties Updated as the trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 4Test by updating one grant planning record with a real funding focus.
Questions about this workflow
Will every property change start a search?
The selected Notion trigger fires on property updates. Make the prompt clear about the grant planning context to use.
Can this find state grants?
This Highergov action retrieves grant opportunities. Describe the program and agency or topic you want researched.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Highergov. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Highergov actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Agencies
Tool to retrieve agencies information. Use when you need to list agencies with pagination.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Award History
Tool to retrieve award history. Use when you need paginated historical award data.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Contract History
Tool to retrieve contract history. Use when you need paginated historical data for a specific contract (via award_id/contract_id) or across contracts using last_modified_date.
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.
Get Contract IDVs
Tool to retrieve Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contract records via the HigherGov Contracts endpoint. Use when you need to list IDVs with pagination, optionally leveraging a saved search_id that filters to IDVs.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Contracts
Tool to retrieve federal contract data. Use when you need to list contracts with optional filters like last_modified_date or search_id.
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 Contract Vehicles
Tool to retrieve contract vehicles. Use when you need to list contract vehicles with pagination.
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.
Get Defense Programs
Tool to retrieve defense programs information. Use when you need to list defense programs with pagination.
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.
Get DLA Contract Opportunities
Tool to retrieve DLA contract opportunities. Use when needing paginated DLA procurement listings.
