Revisit software options as requirements change

As the constraints change, restart category exploration from the updated Notion requirements instead of relying on an old shortlist.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are 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 property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Why this helps

A shortlist can become stale when budget, team size, or must-have needs change without triggering a research revisit.

  • Ties product exploration to evolving requirements.
  • Provides new category options when the decision context changes.
  • Reduces reliance on stale research.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Capterra to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to use changed requirements to retrieve relevant Capterra category products.
  • 3Select the Notion Page Properties Updated trigger for the requirements data source and choose a run-report channel.
  • 4Test with one real requirements update and confirm the returned options fit.

Questions about this workflow

Does it rerun for each property change?

The trigger fires on property updates for the selected data source. The prompt should ask Notis to use the updated requirements as context.

Will it replace the old shortlist?

It retrieves category products for review. You can decide whether to revise the existing shortlist.

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.

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.

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
