Keep priority metrics close to the work

Create a priority in Notion and have Notis bookmark its Metabase question, so you can find the metric check when it is time to review.

Trigger

Page Created

Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.

Action

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.

Why this helps

Important metrics can disappear into analytics collections while the priority itself stays prominent in Notion.

  • Make a priority's metric question easier to return to.
  • Reduce the effort of finding the right card during review.
  • Keep a useful analytics shortcut connected to new work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Metabase to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or explain which Metabase card belongs with new priorities.
  • 3Select Page Created for the relevant priorities database.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports and test by adding one real priority.

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.

TriggerScheduled

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.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

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.

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

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.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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).

ActionInstant

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

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.

ActionInstant

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

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Notion and Metabase, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
