Give a new vendor database a research starting point
A new vendor database often means sourcing is underway. Notis can search Clutch using the purpose and context you provide.
Trigger
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.

Why this helps
A blank research database can add setup overhead before the actual vendor discovery work begins.
- Start provider discovery when the tracking structure is created.
- Connect sourcing intent to the new research workspace.
- Reduce blank-page friction at the beginning of vendor research.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Clutch to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis conversationally what result you want.
- 3Ask Notis in one plain-language instruction to search Clutch for agencies relevant to a newly created vendor database.
- 4Choose the Notion Database Created trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by creating a real vendor research database and reviewing the candidates.
Questions about this workflow
What does this database trigger detect?
It fires when a Notion database container is created. Adding a data source to an existing database uses a separate trigger.
How can I make the search useful?
Describe the database purpose and desired service or market context in the instruction or surrounding Notion information.

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.

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.
