Find Kaggle datasets when you create a research database
Create a research database in Notion and get Kaggle dataset suggestions that match the purpose you documented.
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
List Kaggle Datasets
Tool to list Kaggle datasets with filters and pagination. Use after authenticating with Kaggle API key.
Why this helps
A new research tracker can sit empty while you manually search for a dataset to anchor the work.
- Adds an actionable research starting point to a newly created database.
- Cuts the context switch to begin searching manually.
- Keeps dataset suggestions connected to the database's purpose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Kaggle to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or describe the result to Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Kaggle using the new database's purpose and report matching datasets for review.
- 4Choose the Notion Database Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a database that has a clear research purpose.
Questions about this workflow
Will it fill or change my Notion database?
No. The Kaggle action lists datasets; the workflow reports suggestions for review.
What if the database name is broad?
Add a specific purpose to the database context so the search has useful direction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Kaggle. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Kaggle actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Download competition data files
Tool to download competition data files. Use after confirming the competition ID.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Initialize Kaggle Configuration
Tool to initialize Kaggle API client configuration. Attempts CLI first; if unavailable, it falls back to creating ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json (or $KAGGLE_CONFIG_DIR/kaggle.json).
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Dataset Create
Tool to create a new Kaggle dataset with full metadata. Use after uploading files and finalizing metadata. Returns creation status and message.
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 Dataset Status
Tool to get the status of a dataset upload or processing job. Use after uploading a dataset to check processing state.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Dataset Version
Tool to create a new dataset version on Kaggle. Use when you have updated files or metadata and need to publish a new version of an existing dataset.
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.
Submit Competition Entry
Tool to submit an entry to a Kaggle competition. Use when you have already uploaded your file and obtained its blob token.
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 Kaggle Config Directory
Tool to retrieve the directory of the Kaggle API configuration file. Use when you need to locate the directory containing your kaggle.json credentials.
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 Kaggle Config File
Tool to retrieve the filename of the Kaggle API configuration file. Use when you need to find out where the local Kaggle config file is stored before reading or updating.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Notion and Kaggle, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
