Use a new research view to guide vehicle discovery
Creating a dedicated view often means your research process is becoming more focused. Let Notis list Bid.Cars makes as a useful next step.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.
Action
List makes
Search and browse salvage and insurance vehicle auctions from Copart and IAAI marketplaces, view detailed listing information including photos, pricing history, and vehicle specifications by VIN or lot number. Find similar vehicles, access sales history, and explore available makes and models to discover your next auction opportunity.

Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page.

If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

Find similar vehicles, access sales history, and explore available makes and models to discover your next auction opportunity.
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.
Get similar lots
Search and browse salvage and insurance vehicle auctions from Copart and IAAI marketplaces, view detailed listing information including photos, pricing history, and vehicle specifications by VIN or lot number. Find similar vehicles, access sales history, and explore available makes and models to discover your next auction opportunity.
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.
