Make data dictionary work easier to ground in real values
When you document a data property in Notion, prompt Keen io for its distinct values to help clarify how the property is used.
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
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.
Why this helps
Documenting a field can require a separate data exploration step that interrupts focused writing.
- Pair new field documentation with a focused values lookup.
- Make possible property categories visible while writing.
- Reduce context switching during data dictionary work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Keen io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to return unique values for the relevant Keen property when a data dictionary page is created.
- 4Select the Notion Page Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Create a real dictionary page and review the returned values.
Questions about this workflow
What details should I mention in the instruction?
Describe the property and enough collection context for Notis to identify the relevant Keen data.
Does it explain every value?
It retrieves distinct values; interpretation can be part of your broader 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.
