Keep research notes close to the full video transcript
When a research page is updated with a video worth reviewing, let Apify retrieve the source transcript and timestamps for easier follow-up.
Trigger
Page Updated
Triggers when any block within a specified Notion page is updated.
Action
Get YouTube Transcript
Extract a full timestamped transcript plus video metadata from a YouTube video URL.
Why this helps
Research notes can outpace the source material, leaving you to search for the video and scrub through it again.
- Connects page updates with a transcript retrieval task.
- Provides timestamps for returning to key moments.
- Keeps research moving without manually reopening the video.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Apify to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation by asking Notis or using the portal.
- 3In one instruction, ask for the linked YouTube transcript when the specified research page is updated with a video source.
- 4Choose the Notion Page Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by adding a YouTube source to the page and making a small content update.

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.
