Bring lot photos back into an active review
When new inspection notes land, have Notis retrieve the related Bid.Cars lot photos so you can review the evidence without restarting the search.
Trigger
Page Content Updated
Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).
Action
Get lot photos
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.
Why this helps
Photos and written inspection notes can drift apart across tabs, making it harder to resume a vehicle review.
- Reconnect visual evidence to updated inspection notes.
- Resume review with fewer context switches.
- Make photo checks part of the existing review habit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Bid.Cars to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a plain-language automation asking Notis to retrieve lot photos when an inspection page's content changes.
- 3Choose Page Content Updated for the inspection page or database and pick a run-report channel.
- 4Update one real inspection note that includes a VIN or lot number to test it.
Questions about this workflow
What identifier should the page include?
Include the VIN or Bid.Cars lot number so the photo request can target the intended vehicle.
Does the trigger run on property changes too?
Page Content Updated is for page body content. Use a page-properties event when your relevant change is to a property.

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.
List makes

Find similar vehicles, access sales history, and explore available makes and models to discover your next auction opportunity.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

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.
