Look up companies mentioned in a discussion

A company name in a Notion comment can trigger a quick Akta search and make the discussion easier to follow up.

Trigger

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

Action

Akta Company Search

Locate a company by name or website to get its uuid/website.

Why this helps

A passing company mention can create a research chore that gets separated from the conversation that prompted it.

  • Keep company lookup tied to its original discussion.
  • Resolve names and websites with Akta Company Search.
  • Make follow-up easier to pick up after a context switch.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Akta to Notis once through the portal and enable Notion comment access.
  • 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to search for company names in relevant comments.
  • 3Choose Notion's New Comment trigger for the target page or block.
  • 4Pick a channel for run reports and test with one real company mention.

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.

Akta Employee Reviews

Fetch a company's employee review signals and reviews.

ActionInstant

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.

Akta Product Reviews

Fetch a company's product catalog and per-product reviews.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
