Optimize photos while keeping their metadata
Document a photo update in Notion and preserve useful image metadata as Kraken.io optimizes the hosted file.
Trigger
Page Content Updated
Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).
Action
Preserve Image Metadata
Tool to preserve exif and other metadata during kraken.io image optimization. use when you need to maintain metadata while compressing images.
Why this helps
Image compression can risk stripping information that a team needs to retain with a photo.
- Keep EXIF and other metadata during optimization.
- Avoid repeating a special handling reminder for each photo.
- Receive a run report with the result.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Kraken.io to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to use Kraken.io's metadata-preserving optimization for the hosted image referenced in an updated photo page.
- 4Choose Notion's Page Content Updated trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real page and an externally hosted photo whose metadata should be retained.
Questions about this workflow
What does metadata preservation cover?
The Kraken.io action is for preserving EXIF and other image metadata during optimization.
Can this process a local image file?
The workflow should reference an externally hosted image that Kraken.io can access for optimization.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Kraken io. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Kraken io actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Check Kraken.io User Status
Tool to retrieve current kraken.io account status and quota usage. use when you need to verify plan limits and remaining quota before processing images.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Optimize Image by URL
Tool to optimize an image from a public url. use when you need to compress, resize, or convert an externally hosted image. returns result immediately if 'wait' is true.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Preserve Image Metadata
Tool to preserve exif and other metadata during kraken.io image optimization. use when you need to maintain metadata while compressing images.
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.
Sandbox Image Upload
Tool to upload and optimize images in sandbox mode. use when you want to test the kraken.io api without consuming credits.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
