Turn ad research discussions into useful references
When a teammate flags a competitor or campaign in a Notion comment, let Apify search the Ad Library while the discussion is fresh.
Trigger
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.
Action
Search Facebook Ads
Scrape ads from the Meta/Facebook Ad Library by search query or page.
Why this helps
Ad ideas raised in conversation can disappear under the next urgent task unless someone starts the research.
- Starts the search from an existing team discussion.
- Returns ad examples for a competitor or campaign query.
- Reduces the effort between spotting a question and reviewing evidence.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Apify to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation by asking Notis or using Automations in the portal.
- 3Give one plain-language instruction to search the Facebook Ad Library using the topic in a new relevant comment.
- 4Select the Notion Comment Created trigger and choose where reports should arrive.
- 5Test with a comment on a research page that names a real campaign or competitor.

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 LinkedIn Profiles

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.
