Prepare Kaggle dataset metadata from a Notion plan
Capture a dataset plan in Notion and have Notis initialize the Kaggle metadata file in the folder the plan identifies.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Kaggle Dataset Init
Tool to initialize a dataset-metadata.json file in a local folder. Use when preparing a dataset folder before uploading to Kaggle.
Why this helps
Dataset publishing can get delayed by small preparation steps that are separate from the planning work.
- Connects planning to the first concrete publishing preparation step.
- Reduces manual setup recall.
- Keeps the intended dataset context close to the task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Kaggle to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or describe the desired outcome to Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to initialize Kaggle dataset metadata in the folder named in a new dataset plan.
- 4Choose the Notion New Page trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a plan that names an existing local folder intended for the dataset.
Questions about this workflow
Does this publish the dataset?
No. It initializes a metadata file; uploading files and creating or versioning the dataset are separate actions.
What folder does it use?
The prompt should tell Notis to use the local folder clearly identified in the dataset plan.

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.
