Keep Space configuration steps with launch planning

Reduce forgotten configuration work by tying a planned variable update to its launch record.

Trigger

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

Action

Create or update Space variable

Tool to create or update a variable in a Hugging Face Space. Use when you need to add or update environment variables or configuration values for a Space. This action upserts the variable, meaning it will create a new variable if it doesn't exist or update it if it already exists.

Why this helps

Small configuration changes are often missed when launch instructions are separated from the Space settings.

  • Make configuration updates part of a visible launch process.
  • Repeat known variable setup more consistently.
  • Keep the change tied to its project context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Hugging Face to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or describe the Space configuration outcome to Notis.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create or update the named non-secret Space variable only from an approved launch record.
  • 4Choose the Notion Page Properties Updated trigger for the launch data source and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a development Space and confirm the variable value and approval condition.

Questions about this workflow

Should sensitive values use this action?

Use the Space secret action for sensitive configuration, and keep secret values out of ordinary notes and reports.

How can I prevent changes from draft launch pages?

State a clear approval condition in the instruction and verify it during the test.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Hugging Face. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Hugging Face actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Change Discussion Status

Tool to change the status of a Hugging Face repository discussion. Use when you need to open or close discussions on models, datasets, or spaces.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Check Dataset Validity

Tool to check whether a specific dataset is valid on Hugging Face Hub. Use when you need to determine what features (preview, viewer, search, filter, statistics) are available for a dataset.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Check Models Upload Method

Tool to check if files should be uploaded through the Large File mechanism or directly. Use when preparing to upload files to a Hugging Face model repository to determine the appropriate upload method for each file.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Check Spaces Upload Method

Tool to check if files should be uploaded through the Large File mechanism or directly to Hugging Face Spaces. Use when preparing to upload files to a Hugging Face Space repository to determine the appropriate upload method for each file.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Claim Paper Authorship

Tool to claim authorship of a paper on Hugging Face. Use when you need to associate yourself or another user with an ArXiv paper.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Request Repository Access

Tool to request access to a gated repository on Hugging Face Hub. Use when you need to submit an access request for models, datasets, or Spaces that require approval. The fields required vary by repository.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Create Collection

Tool to create a new collection on Hugging Face. Use when you need to organize and curate models, datasets, spaces, papers, or other collections into a named collection.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Create Datasets Branch

Tool to create a new branch in a Hugging Face dataset repository. Use when you need to create a branch for versioning or experimentation with dataset changes.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Hugging Face, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
