Prepare a Kaggle kernel workspace from a Notion page
Create an analysis page in Notion and have Notis initialize the Kaggle kernel metadata for the project folder it describes.
Trigger
Page Created
Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.
Action
Kaggle Kernel Init
Tool to initialize a kernel-metadata.json file in a local folder. Use when preparing a kernel folder before pushing to Kaggle.
Why this helps
Starting an analysis often involves remembering several small setup steps before you can focus on the work.
- Makes the initial kernel preparation part of capturing the analysis plan.
- Reduces setup steps that are easy to overlook.
- Leaves more attention for the actual analysis.
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 ask Notis conversationally to prepare the outcome.
- 3Give one plain-language instruction to identify the project folder in a new analysis page and initialize its Kaggle kernel metadata.
- 4Choose the Notion Page Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one new analysis page that specifies an accessible project folder.
Questions about this workflow
Does initialization run the kernel?
No. It prepares kernel metadata in a local folder; it does not submit or run the kernel.
What must the page describe?
It should make the intended project folder clear so Notis can initialize the right workspace.

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.
