Turn a contact mention into a phone lookup
When a Notion comment calls out someone to contact, have Clay look for their mobile number using the available LinkedIn, name, and company context.
Trigger
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.
Action
Find Mobile Phone
Find a person's mobile phone number from their LinkedIn URL, name, and company.
Why this helps
A useful contact mention can disappear in a comment thread before anyone adds the person to a research queue.
- Turn a contact mention into a clear research action.
- Keep follow-up details from getting buried in comments.
- Reduce the effort of reopening a thread and starting a lookup later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Clay to Notis once in the portal, including Notion comment access.
- 2Tell Notis to use new comments that identify a contact to ask Clay for a mobile number from their LinkedIn URL, name, and company.
- 3Choose the Comment Created trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 4Test by adding a real comment with a contact and enough identifying context.
Questions about this workflow
What does the Notion integration need for comment triggers?
It needs the Read comments capability. If that was enabled after the connection was authorized, re-authorize the Notion connection.
Can the trigger watch comments workspace-wide?
Yes. Comment Created can fire for comments across the workspace accessible to the integration.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Clay. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Clay actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Find Mobile Phone
Find a person's mobile phone number from their LinkedIn URL, name, and company.
Webhook trigger

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Advanced Search
Start an advanced-query search for people or companies and get a search_id.
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.
Find Company Domain from Name
Resolve a company name to its primary website domain.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Search Query Reference
Fetch the query-language reference for authoring advanced people/company searches.
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.
Fetch Advanced Search Results
Fetch the next page of results for an advanced search by search_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.
