Turn a prospect nomination into an outreach handoff
When a teammate spots a promising contact, a Notion comment can help keep the follow-up from disappearing.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create Lead
Tool to create a new lead. Use when you need to add an individual lead to a campaign.
Why this helps
Useful recommendations get buried in discussion when nobody turns them into a concrete next step.
- Give a useful comment a practical follow-up path.
- Reduce the need to remember who nominated whom.
- Keep team context attached to the original discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Instantly to Notis once in the portal, with Notion comment access enabled.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to add a prospect when a Notion comment clearly nominates them for outreach.
- 4Select Comment Created and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real nomination comment and check the resulting Instantly lead.
Questions about this workflow
What does comment access require?
The Notion integration needs the Read comments capability. A connection authorized before it was enabled may need reauthorization.
Will every comment create a lead?
Describe the clear nomination signal and intended campaign in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Instantly. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Instantly actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Check Email Verification Status
Tool to check status of an email verification job. Use after submitting a verification request to retrieve the current status of a specific email address.
Webhook trigger

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create AI Enrichment
Tool to create an AI enrichment job for a campaign or lead list. Use when you need to enrich a resource with AI-driven insights.
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.
Create API Key
Tool to create a new API key. Use when you need to generate credentials for programmatic access to the Instantly API.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Campaign
Tool to create a new campaign. Use when you have campaign details ready and want to launch.
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 Inbox Placement Test
Tool to create an inbox placement test. Use when you need to measure deliverability across providers with your prepared email and recipient list.
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.
Create Lead
Tool to create a new lead. Use when you need to add an individual lead to a campaign.
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.
Create Lead List
Tool to create a new lead list. Use when you need to organize leads into a dedicated list before importing them into campaigns.
