Alert your team when new Notion tracking tables appear
Someone creates a new database in Notion to track something. Notis adds a sticky to your Mural board instantly so the team doesn't miss it. New tracking tables get visibility right away.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create sticky note
Tool to create one or more sticky note widgets on a mural. use when you need to add notes to a mural layout.
Why this helps
New Notion databases are created but not everyone knows, so you end up with duplicated tracking efforts or team members unaware of new resources.
- Team knows about new databases immediately
- Prevent duplicate tracking efforts
- Discover new resources without hunting
- Centralized awareness on your Mural board
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Make sure Notion and Mural integrations are active in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'New data source alerts'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When a new data source is created in my Notion workspace, create a sticky note on my Mural board announcing it with the source name.'
- 4Choose the 'Data Source Created' trigger.
- 5Set your notification channel.
- 6Test by creating a new Notion data source and checking for the Mural sticky.
Questions about this workflow
Will this work for template-based databases that create multiple sources at once?
Yes, Notis will create a note for each data source that appears, so you'll see all of them.
Can I filter which new sources create notes?
Mention in your prompt that you only want to see sources in certain teamspaces or with specific naming patterns.
Do I need to manually add anything to get the team's attention?
Your prompt can ask Notis to tag team members or use specific language to make sure the sticky stands out.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Mural. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Mural actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create sticky note
Tool to create one or more sticky note widgets on a mural. use when you need to add notes to a mural layout.
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.
Get current user
Tool to retrieve information about the currently authenticated user. use when you need current user details after authentication.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get files for a mural
Tool to retrieve a list of file widgets in a mural. use after confirming the mural id when listing file attachments.
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.
Get Mural Widgets
Tool to retrieve all widgets within a specified mural. use after confirming the mural id is correct.
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.
MURAL Authorization Request
Tool to initiate the oauth 2.0 authorization process. use when you need to redirect a user to mural to obtain an authorization code.
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.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
