Create an asset home when a new database appears
A new Notion database can come with a dedicated ImageKit folder for the work it will organize.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create Folder
Tool to create a new folder. Use when you need to organize assets into a structured folder hierarchy.
Why this helps
New workspace structures often need matching media organization, but the second setup step is easy to postpone.
- Carries workspace setup into the media library.
- Provides a place for associated visuals from the start.
- Reduces the need to revisit database setup later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and ImageKit io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to prepare an ImageKit folder when a database is created.
- 3Describe in one instruction which databases are relevant and how their folders should be named.
- 4Choose Database Created and set a channel for run reports.
- 5Create a sample database and check for its matching ImageKit folder.
Questions about this workflow
Does this fire when a data source is added to an existing database?
No. Database Created is for the database container; use Data Source Created for new data sources.
Can some databases be ignored?
Describe the relevant database context in the instruction and test the selection.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Imagekit io. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Imagekit io actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Bulk Job Status
Tool to check status of a bulk job. Use when monitoring progress of a bulk copy or move folder operation.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bulk Move Files
Tool to move multiple files in bulk. Use when you need to relocate up to 100 ImageKit files to a specified folder in one API call.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Bulk Remove Tags
Tool to remove tags from multiple files in bulk. Use when you need to strip specified tags from up to 50 existing files in one API call.
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.
Copy Folder
Tool to initiate a bulk copy of a folder. Use when you need to asynchronously duplicate a directory (optionally including all versions) at another path in ImageKit. Returns a jobId to track progress with IMAGEKIT_IO_BULK_JOB_STATUS.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Custom Metadata Field
Tool to create a custom metadata field. Use when you need to define a new field in ImageKit DAM.
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.
Create Folder
Tool to create a new folder. Use when you need to organize assets into a structured folder hierarchy.
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.
Delete Custom Metadata Field
Tool to delete a custom metadata field. Use when you have the field ID and need to permanently remove the metadata schema field. Call after confirming irreversible deletion.
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.
Delete File
Tool to delete a file. Use when you have the file ID and need to permanently remove the file. Call after confirming irreversible deletion.
