Create a short link when a document page arrives
Make long document URLs easier to share from the moment they are recorded.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Create Link
Tool to create a shortened URL from a long URL using Lob's link shortening service. Use when you need to shorten a long URL either by using a custom domain or Lob's own short domain.
Why this helps
Long links copied between tools add friction and can interrupt a founder's flow during follow-up.
- Create an easier-to-share URL from a new document page.
- Keep the generated link available in the run report.
- Avoid manually switching tools to shorten each link.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Lob to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to find the shareable document URL on each new page, create a Lob short link, and report the result.
- 3Choose the Notion New Page trigger for the document database and select a run-report channel.
- 4Test with one document page and confirm the reported short link opens the intended destination.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work if the page has no URL?
Ask Notis to report that no shareable URL was found and skip creating a link.
Can I use a custom domain?
Lob's Create Link action can create a shortened URL using a custom domain or Lob's own short domain, depending on your setup.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Domain
Tool to add a new custom domain for creating custom links. Use when you need to register a domain for short link customization.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Delete Domain
Tool to delete a registered domain. Use only after confirming all associated links with the domain are deleted.
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 Link
Tool to delete a shortened link. Use when you need to remove a previously created short link from the system.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Delete Upload
Tool to delete an existing upload by its unique identifier. Use when you need to permanently remove an upload and its associated data.
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.
Get Domain
Tool to retrieve details for a single domain from Lob. Use when you need to get configuration status, redirect links, or other metadata for a specific domain.
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.
Get Link
Tool to retrieve a single shortened link. Use when you need to fetch details about a specific link by its ID.
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.
List Domains
Tool to retrieve a list of all created domains. Use when you need to view or manage custom domains configured for URL shortening. Supports pagination and filtering by configuration status.
