Help contributors adapt to a changing database

A new or renamed Notion property can change how the team records work. Notis can summarize that structural update in Teams.

Trigger

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.

Action

Post message to Teams channel

Posts a new text or html message to a specified channel in a microsoft teams team.

Why this helps

Database changes can surprise collaborators and lead to inconsistent entries or missed information.

  • Make structural changes visible to people who use the database.
  • Explain which property changed and what contributors should do.
  • Avoid confusion from silently changing forms of work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Microsoft Teams to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for the workflow conversationally.
  • 3Tell Notis to explain each relevant schema change and any practical impact in the team's Teams channel.
  • 4Select Data Source Schema Updated, scope it to the data source if appropriate, and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Rename or add one test property and check the announcement.

Questions about this workflow

Does this trigger on row edits too?

No. Data Source Schema Updated is for structural changes such as adding, removing, or renaming columns.

Can it explain what the team should change?

Include the expected contributor response in your instruction so Notis can explain the practical next step.

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.

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.

Create Team

Tool to create a new microsoft teams team. use when you need to provision a team with optional template, channels, and members.

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

Delete Teams team

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.
