Notis

Keep external ID checks on a steady rhythm

Ask Notis to check a short set of known identifiers on a schedule and report the matching Mapulus locations for review.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Find Location by External ID

Tool to retrieve locations by external id. use after obtaining an external identifier to find the matching location(s).

Why this helps

Repeated identifier checks are easy to defer when they depend on remembering a separate lookup task.

  • Make repeated lookup work more predictable.
  • Review matching location records in one report.
  • Reduce the burden of remembering routine checks.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Mapulus to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find Mapulus locations by the specified external IDs on a recurring schedule.
  • 4Choose a recurring trigger, select your report channel, and test using one real identifier.

Questions about this workflow

Can it reconcile records by updating them?

No. Find Location by External ID retrieves matching locations but does not update them.

What should I include in the instruction?

Specify the identifiers to check and ask Notis to report the matches.

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.

TriggerScheduled

Find Location by External ID

Tool to retrieve locations by external id. use after obtaining an external identifier to find the matching location(s).

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Get Map Details

Tool to retrieve detailed information about a map. use when you have a map id and need full map metadata.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

List Locations

Tool to list all locations. use after authentication to retrieve a paginated list of locations.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

List Maps

Tool to list all maps accessible to the user. use after authentication to retrieve maps with pagination and optional filtering.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

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.

TriggerInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
