Check the OCR connection when your workspace grows
When a new data source is created, verify that the OCR connection credentials can be retrieved before relying on document workflows.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get Account Information
Tool to retrieve current account details such as remaining pages, subscription plan, and expiration date. use when checking account status before submitting ocr jobs.
Why this helps
Expanding a workspace can leave setup dependencies unchecked until a time-sensitive workflow needs them.
- Adds a lightweight connection check during workspace changes.
- Surfaces credential retrieval issues earlier.
- Reduces surprises when document intake workflows are needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Ocr web service to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the OCR connection credentials and report whether retrieval succeeded when a data source is created.
- 4Choose Data Source Created and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating a suitable new data source or validating through a real event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this process a document?
No. This action retrieves credentials from connection metadata; it is a setup check.
When does Data Source Created fire?
It fires when a new data source is added, which is distinct from creating a database container.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Ocr web service. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Ocr web service actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Account Credentials
Tool to extract ocrwebservice credentials. use when credentials need to be retrieved from connection metadata before invoking service operations.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Account Information
Tool to retrieve current account details such as remaining pages, subscription plan, and expiration date. use when checking account status before submitting ocr jobs.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
OCR Web Service Log
Tool to retrieve ocr processing logs. use after specifying date range for your account.
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.
OCRWebService Recognize
Tool to call soap recognize operation. use when performing ocr on an image to retrieve text, output document, word coordinates, and errors.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
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.
