Connect new Notion databases to Kibana dashboards
Give a reporting-focused database a dashboard starting point so its information can be easier to review in Kibana.
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
Create Dashboard
Tool to create a new dashboard in kibana. use when you need to create a dashboard to visualize data. dashboards can contain visualizations, saved searches, and other embeddable objects.
Why this helps
A new operational database can arrive without anyone remembering to create its analytics counterpart.
- Creates an analytics starting point when a reporting database is introduced.
- Reduces the manual gap between organizing and understanding data.
- Helps make new reporting work visible early.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Kibana to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis to create a Kibana dashboard when a reporting-focused Notion database is created.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction which new databases should trigger dashboard creation.
- 4Choose Database Created and a run-report channel, then test with a real reporting database.
Questions about this workflow
Is a data source creation the same trigger?
No. Database Created tracks the container creation event. Adding a data source to an existing database is a separate event.
What if the database is not for reporting?
Describe the reporting purpose in your instruction and verify with an example before relying on the workflow.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Kibana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Kibana actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Delete Action
Tool to delete an action in kibana. use when you need to remove a specific action by its id, optionally within a specific space.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Alerting Rule
Tool to delete an alerting rule in kibana. use when you need to remove a specific alerting rule by its id.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Delete Connector
Tool to delete a connector in kibana. use when you need to remove an existing connector.
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.
Delete Fleet Output
Tool to delete a specific output configuration in kibana fleet. use when you need to remove an existing output by its id.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Delete Fleet Proxy
Tool to delete a specific fleet proxy configuration by its id. use when you need to remove an existing proxy setup.
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.
Delete List
Deletes a list. use when you want to delete a list by its id.
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.
Delete Osquery Saved Query
Tool to delete a saved osquery query by its id. use when you need to remove a specific osquery saved query.
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.
Delete Saved Object
Tool to delete a saved object in kibana. use when you need to remove a specific saved object like a visualization or dashboard.
