Start market research with a domain baseline
Make a new research database useful from day one with a focused Ahrefs comparison of relevant sites.
Trigger
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.
Action
Batch Target Analysis
Get Domain Rating, backlinks, and traffic metrics for up to 100 targets at once.
Why this helps
New research spaces can take shape before a founder has a quick view of how the market's domains compare.
- Start with consistent domain metrics for comparison.
- Review Domain Rating, backlinks, and traffic together.
- Avoid piecemeal checks as the research grows.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Ahrefs to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language prompt describing how a new market research database should prompt a domain baseline.
- 3Choose the Notion Database Created trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 4Test by creating one real database and reviewing the Ahrefs target metrics.

What kind of Notion creation does this detect?
It detects creation of a database container, distinct from adding a data source to an existing database.
Can the analysis include several sites?
Yes. Ahrefs batch target analysis supports up to 100 targets.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Ahrefs. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Ahrefs actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Related Keywords
Find keywords related to seed terms, with volume and difficulty.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Pages by Internal Links
List a target's pages ordered by incoming internal link counts.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Organic Keywords
List keywords a target ranks for with position, volume, and traffic estimates.
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.
Domain Rating History
Track a target's Domain Rating over time, one row per date bucket.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Backlink Anchors
Break down a target's backlinks by anchor text with referring-domain counts.
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.
Batch Target Analysis
Get Domain Rating, backlinks, and traffic metrics for up to 100 targets at once.
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.
