Research new competitors without breaking your focus
Add a competitor to Notion and let Notis gather a concise set of current web sources for your next review.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Web Search
Search the web and optionally scrape each result to Markdown in one call.
Why this helps
Research often gets postponed when capturing a competitor and switching into a browser feels like a second task.
- Start a competitor review with relevant sources already gathered.
- Keep research attached to the moment you capture the company.
- Reduce tab switching and repeated searches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Context.dev to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search for current company information and useful sources when a competitor is added to your Notion database.
- 4Pick the Notion New Page trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test by adding one real competitor page and reviewing the research.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run for every new Notion page?
Choose the New Page trigger for the database where you track competitors, so the automation responds to new records there.
What does Context.dev return?
It searches the web and can scrape search results into Markdown, giving Notis source material to summarize.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Context.dev. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Context.dev actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Extract Structured Data
Crawl a website and return JSON matching a caller-supplied JSON Schema.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Retrieve Brand
Resolve a company by domain, name, or ticker into a full brand profile.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Identify Transaction
Map a noisy card or bank descriptor to the real merchant and its brand data.
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.
Scrape Images
Extract every image asset from a page with metadata.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Web Search
Search the web and optionally scrape each result to Markdown in one call.
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.
Extract Styleguide
Extract a website's design system: colors, typography, spacing, shadows, and UI components.
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.
