Add an SPF lookup to your domain task flow

Create a domain task in Notion and have Notis retrieve the SPF record as one early email setup check.

Trigger

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

Action

Lookup SPF Record

Tool to retrieve spf records for a specified domain. use when confirming email sender authorization policies.

Why this helps

Sender authorization checks can fall through the cracks when a founder is juggling launch and operational work.

  • Make the SPF lookup part of the initial domain review.
  • Reduce the number of manual setup reminders to hold in mind.
  • Receive findings in a channel you already use.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Mx toolbox to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to retrieve the SPF record for the domain in each new Notion task and report what it finds.
  • 4Select the Notion New Page trigger and choose a channel for run updates.
  • 5Test with one real domain task and inspect the lookup result.

Questions about this workflow

Does this update my SPF record?

No. The action retrieves the current SPF record for review.

Should the task include the whole email address?

Include the domain you want checked so Notis has a clear lookup target.

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

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Lookup DNS Records

Tool to retrieve dns records for a given domain. use when you need dns lookup details.

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

HTTP Lookup

Tool to perform an http test on a domain. use when you need to assess http connectivity and status for a given domain.

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

Lookup MTA-STS Record

Tool to lookup mta-sts record for a domain. use when validating mail transport security policy.

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

Lookup MX Records

Tool to retrieve mx records for a given domain. use when you need to discover mail exchange servers after obtaining a domain.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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