Give new data sources location context
A new Notion data source can trigger a short Mapulus inventory so you can consider existing maps during setup.
Trigger
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.
Action
List Maps
Tool to list all maps accessible to the user. use after authentication to retrieve maps with pagination and optional filtering.
Why this helps
New data sources can multiply while their relationship to existing location resources stays unclear.
- Keep location resources visible during data source setup.
- Prompt an early review without relying on memory.
- Get a concise inventory through your chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Mapulus to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to list Mapulus maps when a data source is created.
- 4Select Data Source Created, choose a report channel, and test with one real data source creation.
Questions about this workflow
Could one database template run this more than once?
Yes. A template can instantiate multiple data sources and produce multiple creation events.
Does the trigger cover a database container?
No. The data source event is distinct from the database container creation event.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Mapulus. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Mapulus actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Find Location by External ID
Tool to retrieve locations by external id. use after obtaining an external identifier to find the matching location(s).
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Map Details
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a map. use when you have a map id and need full map metadata.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List Locations
Tool to list all locations. use after authentication to retrieve a paginated list of locations.
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 Maps
Tool to list all maps accessible to the user. use after authentication to retrieve maps with pagination and optional filtering.
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.
