Get context when a work priority changes

When a Notion property signals a shift, Notis can gather relevant web context to help you choose the next move.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Action

Web Search

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

Why this helps

A changed priority can carry new research needs, but those needs are easy to lose among task updates.

  • Pair a meaningful status change with timely research.
  • Make decision context easier to find when priorities move.
  • Reduce the need to restart research from scratch.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Context.dev to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation from the portal or by telling Notis what should happen.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction to search for relevant updates when a tracked Notion item's priority or status changes.
  • 4Pick Page Properties Updated as the trigger and choose a run-report channel.
  • 5Change a real item's priority to confirm the research is useful.

Questions about this workflow

Will every property edit run the workflow?

The selected event reports property changes. Describe the meaningful priority or status condition in the prompt so Notis can decide whether to act.

Can the research focus on a topic?

Yes. State the topic and the kind of sources or updates that would be useful in the automation instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Context.dev. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

All Page Events

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.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

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.

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.
