Ways Notis can move work from Notion to Northflank
Create a Northflank project from a launch brief
Turn a new Notion launch brief into a ready Northflank project so infrastructure setup does not get lost in the planning queue.
Create a Northflank project for a new service request
Start a dedicated Northflank project when a new service request page is created in Notion.
Prepare Northflank secrets when a readiness record changes
When a Notion readiness record is updated, have Notis prepare or update the related Northflank secret group.
Update Northflank project settings from deployment notes
Use edits to a designated Notion deployment page to update its Northflank project's settings or description.
Review Northflank services after a deployment comment
Use a new Notion deployment comment as a prompt to retrieve the current Northflank service list for review.
Fetch Northflank project details from a release comment
When a release page receives a new comment, retrieve its Northflank project's current details for context.
Create a Northflank secret group for a new environment page
When a new environment subpage is added under an infrastructure parent page, create its Northflank secret group.
Create a Northflank project when an infrastructure database starts
When a new Notion database is created for a service or environment, ensure its Northflank project exists.
Create a Northflank project for a new service data source
When a new Notion data source is added for a service, create its dedicated Northflank project.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Northflank. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Northflank actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create or Update Project
Tool to create a new project or update an existing project in Northflank (upsert operation). Use when you need to ensure a project exists with specific configuration, regardless of whether it's already created.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create or Update Secret
Tool to create or update a secret group in a Northflank project. Use when you need to store encrypted runtime variables or build arguments that can be inherited by services and jobs.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Project
Tool to create a new project in Northflank. Use when you need to set up a new project with specific ID, name, region, and configuration.
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.
Create Secret
Tool to create a secret group in a Northflank project. Use when you need to store encrypted environment variables that can be inherited by services and jobs.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Delete Project
Tool to permanently delete a Northflank project and all associated resources. Use when you need to remove a project including all builds, deployments, jobs, addons, secret groups, and configurations.
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 DNS ID
Tool to retrieve the DNS identifier for the authenticated account. Use when you need to get the DNS ID used for generating DNS entries for services and domains.
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.
Get Project
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific Northflank project. Use when you need to get project configuration, region, networking settings, or metadata.
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.
Get Secret
Tool to retrieve a secret from a Northflank project including its contents. Use when you need to view the actual secret values and metadata for a specific secret.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
