Make room for changing lead information

As your Notion lead process evolves, a relevant schema update can cue Notis to add a Nutshell lead field so new information has a consistent place.

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

Create Custom Field for Leads

Tool to create a custom field for leads in Nutshell. Use when you need to add new custom fields to track additional information on leads. Supports Text, Email, Currency, and Date field types.

Why this helps

When sales tracking changes, the CRM can lag behind the planning system and leave new details without a clear home.

  • Keep lead tracking adaptable as your process changes.
  • Reduce the manual setup steps after a useful property is added.
  • Give new sales information a place in the CRM.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Nutshell to Notis in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe in plain language the relevant schema change and the lead field Nutshell should add.
  • 3Choose the Notion Data Source Schema Updated trigger and a channel for reports.
  • 4Make one real schema change and verify the field in Nutshell.

Create Lead

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.

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.
