Revisit your research when your tracking fields change

A changed schema can signal new decision criteria; let Notis compare the options against the updated context.

Trigger

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.

Why this helps

When the way you track a decision changes, prior research may no longer answer the questions you care about.

  • Use structural changes as a cue to reassess decision criteria.
  • Get a comparison shaped by current context.
  • Avoid relying on research that no longer fits the tracking approach.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Deep research to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to compare the relevant options using the updated data source context and return a sourced report.
  • 3Select the Notion Data Source Schema Updated trigger for the intended data source if desired.
  • 4Choose the run-report channel and test with a real schema update.

Questions about this workflow

What changes activate the trigger?

It fires on data source column additions, removals, or renames.

Can the report focus on changed criteria?

Describe the review in the plain-language instruction; the event includes the updated properties and their actions.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

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.

TriggerInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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.

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.
