Start a new Notion prospect source with an Apollo company search
Create a prospect data source and look for matching Apollo companies while the purpose of the new workspace is clear.
Trigger
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.
Action
Apollo Organization Search
Find companies by headcount, location, revenue, funding, keywords, and technology.
Why this helps
A fresh database can sit empty while its owner tries to remember the research steps needed to get started.
- Give a new prospect source an immediate research starting point.
- Reduce setup friction when organizing a new market.
- Make it easier to act on an idea before it gets buried.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Apollo to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to search Apollo for companies matching the purpose of a newly created prospect data source.
- 3Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test by creating one real prospect data source.
Questions about this workflow
What is a data source creation event?
It fires when a new Notion data source is created. A database container creation is a separate event.
How does the company search know what to find?
Include the intended market or company criteria in the relevant Notion context so Notis can use it to guide the Apollo search.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Apollo. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Apollo actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Apollo People Enrichment
Enrich one person with verified contact and profile data — email, profile, and optionally a mobile phone number — from an email, name, LinkedIn URL, or Apollo id.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Apollo Organization Job Postings
Retrieve a company's active job postings by its Apollo organization id.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Apollo Get Complete Organization Info
Get the complete record for a company by its Apollo organization id.
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.
Apollo Organization Search
Find companies by headcount, location, revenue, funding, keywords, and technology.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Apollo News Articles Search
Search news articles about companies by organization, category, and date.
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.
Apollo Get Complete Person Info
Get the complete record for a person by their Apollo person id.
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.
