Keep track of new Notion databases

Capture the creation of database containers so new systems are easier to spot and review.

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

Write Line Protocol Data

Tool to write line protocol data to a bucket. Use when ingesting asynchronous line protocol points after formatting the payload.

Why this helps

Creating another database feels quick, but forgotten duplicates add friction to finding the right place later.

  • See when new database containers appear.
  • Notice duplicate or overlapping systems sooner.
  • Build a timeline of workspace structure changes.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and InfluxDB Cloud to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation that records each newly created database container in InfluxDB.
  • 3Select Database Created as the Notion trigger.
  • 4Choose a run-report channel and test with a clearly named example database.

Questions about this workflow

Is this the same as a new data source trigger?

No. Database Created tracks the container creation event; a data source added to an existing container is a separate event.

Can this help reduce duplicate databases?

The event history can make new databases easier to review, though it does not automatically detect duplicates.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Influxdb cloud actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Add Dashboard Cell

Tool to add a cell to a dashboard. Use when you want to add or copy a cell to an existing dashboard after verifying the dashboard exists.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Delete User

Tool to delete a user by ID. Use when you need to remove a user in InfluxDB Cloud; requires an operator token.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Generate Flux Query AST

Tool to generate a Flux query Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). Use when you need to inspect the structure of a Flux script. Use after composing your Flux query; this validates syntax and returns the AST (does not check semantic correctness).

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

Get DBRP Mapping

Tool to retrieve a DBRP mapping by ID. Use when you need to fetch details of a specific DBRP mapping in InfluxDB Cloud.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

List Routes

Tool to list top-level API routes. Use when you need to discover all available API endpoints for an instance. Call after setting a valid authorization token.

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

Sign In

Tool to create a user session by authenticating credentials. Use when initiating a user session after collecting credentials.

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

Sign Out

Tool to expire a user session using a session cookie. Use when ending an authenticated session after signin.

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

Update DBRP

Tool to update a DBRP mapping's default and retention policy. Use when modifying an existing DBRP mapping after initial creation.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Influxdb cloud, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
