When something happens in Notion, Notis takes the next step in Metabase. Describe what you want in plain English, or start from one of the examples below.

Ways Notis can move work from Notion to Metabase
Check metrics when a project starts
When a project is added to Notion, run the relevant Metabase question so its owner can quickly review baseline metrics and spot what needs attention.
Check data behind a new decision
When a Notion decision page changes, have Notis run the named Metabase question to give the founder a current data point before the decision is finalized.
Refresh metrics when review notes change
When the body of a Notion review page is edited, run its chosen Metabase question so updated priorities can be checked against current data.
Run analytics after a metric request
When a comment asks for a metric or data check in Notion, run the relevant Metabase question to make the follow-up easier to complete.
Check analytics after a dashboard comment
When a comment is added to a specified Notion dashboard-planning page or block, run the chosen Metabase card query for a focused follow-up.
See popular analytics when a page is created
When a new Notion planning page is created, retrieve Metabase's popular items to help the founder find a useful dashboard or question without searching from scratch.
Refresh Metabase schema after Notion structure changes
When a Notion data source schema changes, trigger Metabase schema synchronization for the relevant connected database so metadata can catch up with structural work.
Find dashboard candidates after adding a data source
When a new Notion data source is created, ask Metabase for automagic dashboard candidates in the relevant database to help surface possible analytics views.
Bookmark a dashboard for a new project
When a project page is added to Notion, create a Metabase bookmark for the project dashboard so it is easier to return to during execution.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Metabase. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Metabase actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Bookmark
Tool to create a new bookmark for a Metabase item (card, dashboard, collection, or dataset). Use when the user wants to bookmark a specific item for quick access.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Bookmark
Tool to create a new bookmark for a Metabase item (card, dashboard, collection, or dataset). Use when you need to bookmark a specific item for the authenticated user.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Run Card Pivot Query
Tool to run a pivot table query on a Metabase card (question). Use when you need to execute the query associated with a specific card and get results formatted for pivot table visualization. The response includes data rows, column metadata, query status, and execution timing.
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.
Run Card Query
Tool to run the query associated with a Card and return its results. Use when you need to execute a card's query with optional parameters and cache control.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Copy Dashboard
Tool to create a copy of an existing Metabase dashboard. Use when you need to duplicate a dashboard with optional customization of name, description, and collection placement. Supports both shallow copy (references same cards) and deep copy (duplicates all cards).
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.
Run Dashboard Pivot DashCard Query
Tool to run a pivot table query for a specific DashCard. Use when you need to execute a pivot table query on a dashboard card with optional parameter filters.
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.
Save Dashboard to Collection
Tool to save a denormalized dashboard description into a collection. Use when you need to create a new dashboard directly in a specific collection with full configuration including cards, tabs, and parameters.
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.
Discard Database Field Values
Tool to discard all saved field values for a specific database. Use when you need to clear cached field value data for all fields in a database. Requires superuser privileges.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.

You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
