Request scan recognition in a Notion comment
Leave a clear OCR request beside a scan, and let Notis send it for recognition.
Trigger
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Action
OCRWebService Recognize
Tool to call soap recognize operation. use when performing ocr on an image to retrieve text, output document, word coordinates, and errors.
Why this helps
Requests buried in conversation can be forgotten when switching back to the document or project.
- Keeps the request beside the relevant document.
- Turns a short comment into a concrete processing step.
- Reduces the need to copy a request into a separate task list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Ocr web service to Notis once, ensuring Notion comment access is authorized.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to OCR the referenced scan when a comment explicitly requests it.
- 4Choose New Comment, specify the page or block, and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding a clear OCR request comment beside one real scan.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notion comment access need setup?
Yes. The Notion integration needs the Read comments capability, and an older connection may need reauthorization after enabling it.
Can every comment trigger processing?
Ask Notis to proceed only when the comment explicitly requests OCR for a referenced scan.

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.
