Revisit news publishers when your tracking needs change

A new source or coverage field can signal a change in what you want to monitor. Fetch available publishers to review.

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

Get Sources

Tool to fetch available news sources. Use when you need to retrieve a list of publishers by optional filters like category, language, or country. Source IDs returned here are the only valid IDs for filtering in NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or NEWS_API_GET_TOP_HEADLINES — unrecognized IDs cause silently empty results.

Why this helps

Publisher discovery is easy to overlook when a tracking process changes.

  • Prompt a publisher review when tracking requirements change.
  • See currently available source options without hunting for them.
  • Keep source selection aligned with the evolving database.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and News API to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3Ask Notis to retrieve available News API sources that match the updated tracking schema and summarize relevant publisher options.
  • 4Pick the Notion Data Source Schema Updated trigger, then choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by making one intentional schema update and reviewing the sources.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automatically change my source filters?

No. It retrieves source options for review; the workflow does not configure a separate field-mapping screen.

Why use Get Sources here?

It returns available News API publishers, which can help when the monitoring requirements change.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to News api. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

News api actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Get Everything

Tool to search through every article published by over 150,000 sources. At least one of q, sources, language, or domains must be set or the API returns a parametersMissing error. Historical date range depends on your News API plan tier (free plans limited to ~1 month). No country parameter exists; target geography via sources, domains, or country-specific terms in q. Burst requests may trigger HTTP 429; apply backoff on throttling errors.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Get Sources

Tool to fetch available news sources. Use when you need to retrieve a list of publishers by optional filters like category, language, or country. Source IDs returned here are the only valid IDs for filtering in NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or NEWS_API_GET_TOP_HEADLINES — unrecognized IDs cause silently empty results.

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Get Top Headlines

Tool to retrieve live top and breaking headlines; does not support historical or date-bounded queries (use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING for past date ranges). Results favor major outlets; use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or COMPOSIO_SEARCH_WEB for niche publications. Use when you need current headlines filtered by country, category, source(s), or keywords.

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

Get V1 Articles

Tool to fetch live article metadata from a news source using the legacy v1 API. Use when you need headlines from a specific source identifier. This v1 endpoint has been superseded by /v2/top-headlines.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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

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

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.
