Revisit vehicle reviews when a Notion status changes
Move a candidate to a new review stage in Notion and request Carfax reviews before the next decision.
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 candidate can advance through a checklist faster than the underlying research gets revisited.
- Use stage changes as a cue to revisit review information.
- Keep evidence attached to the candidate's decision progress.
- Reduce reliance on memory for repeat research checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Carfax to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Tell Notis to retrieve Carfax reviews when you update a candidate's review stage in Notion.
- 3Select Page Properties Updated for the vehicle data source and describe the relevant stage change in the prompt.
- 4Choose a run-report channel, then test by moving one real candidate to the intended stage.
Questions about this workflow
Will every property edit request reviews?
The trigger detects page property updates. Describe the meaningful stage change in your prompt so Notis can focus on relevant updates.
Can it make the stage decision for me?
The workflow requests review information as context. You remain in control of the decision.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Carfax. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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.
