Start investor discovery when your research source is ready
Create an investor research data source and prompt a Crunchbase search based on the scope you set out.
Trigger
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.
Action
Search investors
Search and retrieve detailed information about companies, investors, and key people to discover funding opportunities, track market competitors, and analyze investment trends. Access comprehensive profiles including organization details, investor backgrounds, and complete funding round histories all in one place.
Why this helps
A new research source can remain empty when setup work takes priority over the first concrete discovery task.
- Give a new investor research structure a practical first action.
- Help maintain momentum after organizing prospect work.
- Make it easier to return to discovery after setup interruptions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Crunchbase to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and write one plain-language instruction for the investor search to run on a relevant data-source creation.
- 3Select Notion Data Source Created as the trigger and describe the investor research context.
- 4Choose the run-report channel and test with one real investor data source.
Questions about this workflow
Could one template cause more than one event?
Yes. A template-based database creation can create multiple data sources and fire an event for each.
How do I limit runs to investor research?
Describe the relevant data source context in the instruction and use a clear name or purpose.
Is this a recurring investor scan?
No. It runs on data-source creation. Use a scheduled trigger for recurring research.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Crunchbase. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Crunchbase 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.

Get company people
Search and retrieve detailed information about companies, investors, and key people to discover funding opportunities, track market competitors, and analyze investment trends. Access comprehensive profiles including organization details, investor backgrounds, and complete funding round histories all in one place.
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.
Get company funding rounds
Search and retrieve detailed information about companies, investors, and key people to discover funding opportunities, track market competitors, and analyze investment trends. Access comprehensive profiles including organization details, investor backgrounds, and complete funding round histories all in one place.
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.
