Keep review notes connected to current metrics

Update your review notes in Notion and have Notis run the Metabase question you use to check progress.

Trigger

Page Content Updated

Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is 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 page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).

Action

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.

Why this helps

Weekly reviews can become a string of disconnected tabs when notes and metrics must be refreshed separately.

  • Tie a metrics check to the review workflow you already use.
  • Make it easier to revisit progress after priorities change.
  • Spend less time switching from notes to analytics.

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 tell Notis which review and metric check to connect.
  • 3Pick Page Content Updated and scope it to the review page or data source.
  • 4Choose a run-report channel and test by editing one review note.

Questions about this workflow

Will every text edit run the question?

The trigger aggregates content edits over a short window, and you can scope it to a specific page or data source.

Can I use this for a monthly review?

Yes. Use the same pattern with a monthly Notion review page and the Metabase question you regularly consult.

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

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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