Give questions in Notion a research starting point

A comment can become a prompt for focused web research, ready for the next decision or discussion.

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

Web Search

Search the web and optionally scrape each result to Markdown in one call.

Why this helps

Questions buried in comments can remain unanswered when nobody has time to switch context and investigate.

  • Give research questions a clear next step.
  • Bring source material back to the conversation context.
  • Reduce the number of comments that need manual follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Context.dev to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
  • 3Use one instruction asking Notis to interpret a new comment in page context and search the web for relevant evidence.
  • 4Pick Comment Created as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real comment containing a question you can verify.

Questions about this workflow

Does this trigger require special Notion access?

Yes. The Notion integration needs the Read comments capability, and an existing connection may need to be re-authorized after enabling it.

Can I limit the workflow to a page?

The Comment Created trigger supports an optional page filter when setting up the automation.

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
