Why this helps
Research often stalls between saving a candidate and finding the context needed to compare it. This prompts a review lookup at capture time.
- Start candidate review with Carfax review information.
- Avoid a separate reminder to look up reviews later.
- Keep evaluation tied to the Notion shortlist entry.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Carfax to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to retrieve Carfax vehicle reviews whenever you add a candidate to your Notion shortlist, or create that prompt in the portal.
- 3Choose Notion New Page as the trigger and select the shortlist data source.
- 4Select a channel for run reports and test with one real candidate.
Questions about this workflow
Does this write the reviews into Notion?
The workflow requests vehicle reviews through Carfax. Whether and where results are recorded depends on the prompt and available integration behavior.
Can I use this for every new Notion page?
You can, but choosing the shortlist data source keeps the trigger focused on vehicle candidates.

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.
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.
