Start research workflows from a Notion brief
Create the brief in Notion and let an available Nango action prepare the connected data you need next.
Trigger
Page Created
Triggers when a new Notion page is created. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: new row in this data source - parent_page_id: new sub-page under this page (immediate parent only) With neither set, fires for any new page in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion sends ~60s aggregation latency on most events.
Action
Trigger Nango Action
Tool to trigger nango workflow actions via api. use when you need to execute an action by specifying the connection, provider config, and action identifier.
Why this helps
Research often starts with repetitive setup across connected services before the useful thinking can begin.
- Uses a brief page as the starting point for connected data work.
- Cuts repetitive launch steps before focused research.
- Keeps the action tied to the context captured in Notion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Nango to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis how a new brief should start research.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction naming the available Nango action and research outcome.
- 4Select Page Created scoped to the briefs data source and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real brief and confirm the Nango action is available and runs.
Questions about this workflow
Does Nango provide every research provider action?
The action depends on the provider and action configured in your Nango workspace. Check availability before relying on the workflow.
Can this run only for briefs?
Yes. Scope Page Created to the Notion data source that contains your briefs.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Nango. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Nango actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Trigger Nango Action
Tool to trigger nango workflow actions via api. use when you need to execute an action by specifying the connection, provider config, and action identifier.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List Connections
Tool to list all connections. use when you need to retrieve existing connections.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List Connections
Tool to list all connections without credentials. use when you need connection metadata across your account without exposing credentials.
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 Provider Details
Tool to retrieve details for a specific provider. use when you need to fetch provider configuration details by name (e.g., 'salesforce'). use after selecting the provider.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
List Providers
Tool to retrieve a list of all available providers. use when you need to display or iterate through every provider before creating connections.
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 Scripts Configuration
Tool to fetch the nango scripts configuration. use when you need to get the available scripts and their triggers.
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.
Trigger Sync
Tool to trigger a sync process manually. use after establishing a connection and defining a sync.
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.
