Prepare sharp display images from new Notion records
Newly documented images can receive a display-density rendering request through Imgix, without a separate manual setup step.
Trigger
Page Created
Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.
Action
Set Device Pixel Ratio
Tool to set device pixel ratio for an Imgix image. Use when rendering at specific display densities to ensure correct sharpness. Example: 'dpr=2&w=500&h=300' doubles resolution relative to dimensions.
Why this helps
Remembering the right display density for each image can add unnecessary detail to a founder's workflow.
- Adds a repeatable sharpness preparation step
- Keeps image rendering connected to the asset record
- Reduces manual URL parameter setup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Imgix to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language for a high-density rendering workflow.
- 3Describe the new pages that contain display images and the target device pixel ratio and dimensions.
- 4Select the Notion Page Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a new page and inspect the rendered image at its intended display size.
Questions about this workflow
What does device pixel ratio affect?
It controls the output density relative to the requested dimensions, which can help ensure sharp rendering on high-density displays.
Should every image use the same ratio?
Use the ratio appropriate to the intended display. State the relevant display context in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Imgix. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Imgix actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Imgix Auto Optimization
Tool to apply automatic best-effort image optimizations. Use when you need to compress, enhance, format, or remove redeye via Imgix's auto parameter.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Blend Overlay
Tool to overlay an image, text, or color onto a base image using imgix blending parameters. Use after specifying the base image URL and blend parameters to composite layers.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Imgix Blend Align
Tool to align the overlay relative to the base image when blending. Use after constructing a base Imgix URL to specify horizontal and vertical alignment (e.g., 'left,top').
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.
Blend Color Over Image
Tool to blend a solid color over an image using CSS keyword or hex. Use when you need to apply color overlay transformations to an existing image URL.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Imgix Blend X Position
Tool to position the overlay horizontally on an Imgix-rendered image. Use when you need to offset the blend layer by a specified number of pixels from the left edge.
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.
Draw Image Border
Tool to draw a border around an image. Use when you need to overlay a border without resizing.
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.
Adjust Image Brightness
Tool to adjust image brightness. Use when you need to modify an image's brightness level (−100 to 100) by supplying your source domain and asset path.
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.
IMGIX_CH
Tool to opt in to Client Hints. Use when you want Imgix URLs to adapt based on browser headers (Width, DPR, Save-Data).
