Shape a new planning database with CMS context
A newly created database may support new content work. Have Notis bring back the content type reference while the workspace is being set up.
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
List Content Types
Tool to list content types within a kontent.ai environment. use when you need to retrieve a paginated list of content type definitions. use after confirming the environment id.
Why this helps
A fresh planning database can start without a clear view of the existing CMS model.
- See existing CMS structures during database setup.
- Avoid repeated manual checks while shaping a workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Kontent.ai to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally for this outcome.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list useful Kontent.ai content types when a new editorial database is created.
- 4Select the Notion Database Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real database and review the type reference.
Questions about this workflow
Is a database the same event as a data source?
No. This trigger is for creation of the database container; creating a data source within an existing database is a separate event.
Does this create a matching CMS model?
No. It only retrieves content type definitions for the run report.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Kontent ai. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Kontent ai actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Content Item
Tool to retrieve a specific content item by its identifier. use after confirming the environment id and item identifier.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Language
Tool to retrieve a specific language by its id. supports management api directly and delivery api via normalization.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get Language Variant
Tool to retrieve a specific language variant of a content item. use after confirming the item and language identifiers when needing localized content.
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 Content Items
Tool to list content items from the delivery api. use when fetching content items for a specified environment, optionally providing a continuation token for pagination.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
List Content Types
Tool to list content types within a kontent.ai environment. use when you need to retrieve a paginated list of content type definitions. use after confirming the environment id.
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.
List Languages
Tool to list languages in a kontent.ai project. use when you need to retrieve all languages for a specified environment after confirming the project 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.
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.
