Ways Notis can move work from Notion to Apify
Turn prospect briefs into LinkedIn research
When you add a prospect brief to Notion, ask Apify to find relevant LinkedIn profiles and return a concise shortlist for review.
Start an Instagram market scan from Notion
Create a market-watch item in Notion to search Instagram for relevant profiles, places, or hashtags and receive findings for review.
Get transcripts for newly saved YouTube references
When you create a Notion page for a YouTube reference, ask Apify to extract its transcript and metadata for your research notes.
Collect YouTube discussion for saved videos
Add a YouTube video research item to Notion and use Apify to collect its comments, authors, dates, votes, and replies.
Research competitor ads when a watchlist changes
When a Notion watchlist entry changes, ask Apify to search the Facebook Ad Library for ads from the named competitor or query.
Refresh video transcripts when research notes change
When the content of a Notion video research page changes, ask Apify to retrieve the linked video's transcript and metadata again.
Turn prospect comments into profile research
A new Notion comment can flag a prospect to investigate; ask Apify to search LinkedIn and report a relevant profile shortlist.
Explore Instagram trends mentioned in Notion
When a new comment on a specified Notion page raises a market question, use Apify to search Instagram for relevant profiles, places, or hashtags.
Scan the Ad Library from a new campaign brief
When you create a campaign research page in Notion, ask Apify to search the Facebook Ad Library for examples related to its topic.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Apify. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Apify actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Search Instagram
Search Instagram for places, profiles, and hashtags by keyword.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Snapchat Spotlight
Extract creator, caption, and engagement data from Snapchat Spotlight video URLs.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get YouTube Transcript
Extract a full timestamped transcript plus video metadata from a YouTube video URL.
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.
Search Facebook Ads
Scrape ads from the Meta/Facebook Ad Library by search query or page.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Search LinkedIn Profiles
Search LinkedIn profiles by keyword with job title, company, school, location, industry, seniority, and headcount filters.
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 YouTube Comments
Extract complete comment threads from YouTube videos: text, authors, dates, votes, and replies.
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.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
