Find existing datasets when a new data source appears
A new Notion data source can prompt a Keen dataset definition list, making it easier to notice existing resources relevant to a new workflow.
Trigger
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.
Action
List Cached Dataset Definitions
Tool to list cached dataset definitions for a project. Use when you need to page through dataset definitions.
Why this helps
New structures can arrive with no obvious connection to existing analytics work, leaving founders to remember a separate search.
- Bring a dataset review into the moment a new data source appears.
- Make existing cached definitions easier to discover.
- Help reduce duplicated analytics planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Keen io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up in conversation.
- 3Use a single instruction asking Notis to list cached Keen dataset definitions after a Notion data source is created.
- 4Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Create one real data source and review the resulting dataset list.
Questions about this workflow
Could a template create multiple trigger events?
Yes. A template-based database can create multiple data sources, each of which may fire an event.
Does the action modify a dataset?
No. It lists cached dataset definitions for review.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Keen io. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Keen io actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Inspect All Event Collections
Tool to retrieve schema info for all event collections. Use when you need to list collection names and optional property schema for a given project. Use include_schema to toggle schema details.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Inspect Collection Property
Tool to return details for a specific property in an event collection. Use when you need to inspect a property's inferred type and resource URL.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Inspect Single Event Collection
Tool to retrieve schema info for a single event collection. Use when you need the inferred property types for a specific collection in a project.
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.
List Cached Dataset Definitions
Tool to list cached dataset definitions for a project. Use when you need to page through dataset definitions.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Select Unique
Tool to return unique values for a target property. Use when distinct property values are required for matching events with optional filters and timeframe constraints.
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.
Unrevoke Access Key
Tool to unrevoke (reactivate) a specific access key. Use when needing to restore a previously revoked API key.
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.
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.
