Why this helps
Affordability checks can fall behind when you compare cars in bursts between other founder responsibilities.
- Bring active candidates back into a regular affordability review.
- Reduce repeated setup for payment lookup sessions.
- Make budget context easier to revisit during a busy week.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Carfax to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Tell Notis to review active candidates in your Notion shortlist weekly and request their Carfax estimated payments.
- 3Create an automation in the portal and select a weekly schedule.
- 4Choose where run reports should arrive, then test with one current candidate.
Questions about this workflow
Is the returned payment amount final?
No. Treat it as an estimate and verify real financing terms before making a commitment.
How should I keep the recurring review focused?
State in the prompt that it should consider only active candidates you are still evaluating.

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.
