Trigger

Action

Why this helps
Reformatting a completed brief into a carousel concept adds another context switch before publishing.
- Keeps campaign concepts close to the source brief.
- Reduces repeated setup work before review.
- Creates a draft for a human to inspect before publishing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2In the portal, create an automation and describe how a new campaign brief should become an Instagram carousel draft.
- 3Select the Notion New Page trigger for the campaign database and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real brief that includes carousel-ready content and image assets.
Questions about this workflow
Does this publish the carousel?
No. It creates a draft carousel container for review; publishing is a separate Instagram action.
What kind of Notion item should trigger it?
Use the New Page trigger for the database where campaign briefs are added.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Instagram. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Instagram actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Carousel Container
Create a draft carousel post with multiple images/videos before publishing.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Media Container

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Post
Publish a draft media container to instagram (final publishing step).
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 Conversation
Get details about a specific instagram dm conversation (participants, etc).
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Post Comments
Get comments on an instagram post.
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 Post Insights
Get instagram post insights/analytics (impressions, reach, engagement, etc.).
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 Post Status
Check the processing status of a draft post container.
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 User Info
Get instagram user info including profile details and statistics.
