Inspect a useful breakdown when work changes
A status change in Notion can prompt Notis to run a Metabase pivot and bring a breakdown into your workflow.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
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.
Why this helps
A change in project status can require extra analytics digging before the next step feels clear.
- Pair a workflow transition with a structured metric breakdown.
- Reduce the manual steps between status updates and data review.
- Make progress checks more focused with a chosen pivot question.
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 describe the status change and Metabase pivot to use.
- 3Select Page Properties Updated for the relevant data source or page.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test by changing one real work item's status.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect a particular property change?
The event includes updated property details. Describe the status property and relevant changes in the automation instruction.
What does the pivot action return?
It runs the pivot query for a Metabase card and returns results formatted for a pivot table, with column metadata and execution details.

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.
