Help people understand new Notion views
A new board, calendar, or timeline view can be easy to miss. Ask Ollama to explain what kind of view it is and what work it may make easier to see.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.
Action
Generate Text with Ollama
Tool to generate text responses from Ollama models with optional raw mode. Use raw=true to bypass prompt templating when you need full control over the prompt for debugging or custom processing. Note that raw mode will not return a context.
Why this helps
People may not discover a useful new view or know why it was added to the workspace.
- Make new ways to see work easier to discover.
- Explain a view type in straightforward terms.
- Encourage people to use views that fit how they plan.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Ollama to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal with a name for view orientation.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Ollama to describe the new view type and its likely use based on the available parent context, while labeling assumptions.
- 4Choose the Notion View Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real view creation event and review the explanation for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
Which view types can this handle?
The event includes view types such as table, board, gallery, calendar, list, timeline, and gantt.
Does the workflow create or modify the view?
No. The selected Ollama action generates an explanation based on the event context; it does not create or change a Notion view.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Ollama. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Ollama actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Chat with Ollama model
Tool to send a chat message with conversation history to Ollama. Use when you need to have a multi-turn conversation with an LLM model.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Generate Text with Ollama
Tool to generate text responses from Ollama models with optional raw mode. Use raw=true to bypass prompt templating when you need full control over the prompt for debugging or custom processing. Note that raw mode will not return a context.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
List Models
Tool to list all available Ollama models and their details. Use when you need to fetch installed models with metadata including name, size, last modified timestamp, digest, and format information.
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.
OpenAI-Compatible Chat Completion
Tool to create OpenAI-compatible chat completions using Ollama models. Use when you need conversational AI responses with OpenAI API format compatibility.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
OpenAI-Compatible Text Completion
Tool to create OpenAI-compatible text completions using Ollama models. Use when you need text generation with OpenAI API format compatibility beyond chat-based interactions.
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.
List Models (OpenAI Compatible)
Tool to list available models using OpenAI-compatible API format. Use when you need to retrieve locally available Ollama models with metadata following OpenAI's model list format.
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.
Show Model Information
Tool to show comprehensive information about an Ollama model. Use when you need to retrieve model details, parameters, template, license, or system prompt.
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 Ollama Version
Tool to get the version of Ollama running locally. Use to check which version of Ollama is currently installed.
