Start company discovery from a new research view
Create a dedicated Notion research view and use the surrounding context to start a ContactOut company search.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.
Action
Search Companies
Find companies by size, industry, location, revenue, technologies; bills search credits.
Why this helps
A new research view can signal fresh exploration, but turning that setup into concrete company discovery takes extra steps.
- Connect a newly organized research view to an actionable search.
- Reduce the gap between setting up research and finding companies.
- Use a familiar workspace cue to prompt the next step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and ContactOut to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to search ContactOut for companies matching the criteria in context when a market research view is created.
- 4Choose Notion View Created, select a channel for reports, and test with one real research view.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to ContactOut. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
ContactOut actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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.

Match a person by any identifier mix; contact reveal bills personal email credits.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
LinkedIn Full Profile + Contacts (Work Email)
Full LinkedIn profile plus contacts from a profile URL; bills work email credits.
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.
Search Companies
Find companies by size, industry, location, revenue, technologies; bills search credits.
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.
