Check OCR connection readiness after a record update
Use a page property update as a cue to check OCR access before the next document needs processing.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
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
A changed record can mark a handoff or workflow change, while the state of the OCR connection remains unknown.
- Adds a simple check to an existing record-change moment.
- Reports whether credentials can be retrieved.
- Helps reduce uncertainty around the OCR connection.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Ocr web service to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Describe one instruction to retrieve OCR credentials after a relevant property change and report the result.
- 4Select Page Properties Updated, optionally scope to a data source, and choose the report channel.
- 5Test by changing a representative page property.
Questions about this workflow
Does this submit an OCR job?
No. It retrieves connection credentials. Use OCRWebService Recognize when you want to process a scan.
Can it be limited to a database?
Yes. Page Properties Updated can be scoped to a data source.

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.
