Create a DNS profile from a device setup page

Keep device setup moving by creating its NextDNS profile as soon as the setup page appears in Notion.

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

Create Profile

This tool allows users to create a new nextdns profile. it uses the post method at the endpoint https://api.nextdns.io/profiles. a profile is a distinct configuration set for dns filtering and security settings.

Why this helps

A new device setup can stall while you remember to create its separate DNS profile.

  • Cuts a manual configuration step from device onboarding.
  • Gives each intentionally tracked device setup a corresponding profile.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and NextDNS to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Give one instruction to create a NextDNS profile only for a new device setup page with a clear profile name.
  • 4Select the Notion Page Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by creating one real device setup page and check the new profile in NextDNS.

Questions about this workflow

Will every new Notion page create a profile?

The instruction should limit this to a device setup page that clearly requests a profile.

Can the profile name come from the page?

Describe the naming rule in the plain-language instruction; Notis interprets the page context.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion triggers

Nextdns actions

Recurring trigger

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

TriggerScheduled

Add Blocked TLD

Tool to add a top-level domain to the security blocklist for a nextdns profile. use after listing current security settings to ensure the tld is not already blocked.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

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

TriggerInstant

Add Denylist Domain

Tool to add a domain to the denylist of a nextdns profile. use when blocking specific domains under a profile after obtaining its id.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Toggle Block Page

Tool to enable or disable block page for a configuration. use when you need to toggle whether dns blocks show a block page.

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

Clear Logs

Tool to clear dns logs for a nextdns profile. use when you want to remove all existing query logs for a given profile. note: this operation cannot be undone.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Create Profile

This tool allows users to create a new nextdns profile. it uses the post method at the endpoint https://api.nextdns.io/profiles. a profile is a distinct configuration set for dns filtering and security settings.

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

Delete NextDNS Configuration

Tool to delete a nextdns configuration profile. use when you need to remove an existing profile by its id. use after confirming the profile exists.

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

Download Logs

Tool to download dns logs for a profile. use when you need the url of the exported logs. use after confirming the profile id is valid. supports getting a redirect url or json.

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

Get Analytics Devices

Tool to retrieve analytics aggregated by devices. use when you need per-device query metrics within a specific time frame.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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