Give questions in Notion comments a useful research starting point
When someone leaves a question in Notion, have Firecrawl search the web for relevant sources and bring back a concise starting point.
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
Firecrawl Search
Search the web and optionally scrape every result.
Why this helps
Questions in comments can get buried while everyone assumes someone else will look up the answer.
- Turn a written question into a concrete research lead.
- Reduce the chance that comment threads stall without evidence.
- Give the team sources to assess alongside the original discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Firecrawl to Notis once through the portal, and confirm the Notion integration has Read comments enabled.
- 2Ask Notis to search the web for evidence related to each new Notion comment and return useful sources.
- 3Select the Notion Comment Created trigger, optionally scoped to a page.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with one real comment containing a research question.
Questions about this workflow
What does the comment trigger require?
The Notion integration needs the Read comments capability. If it was authorized before that capability was enabled, re-authorize the connection.
Can the trigger watch one page?
Yes. The Comment Created event supports an optional page scope.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Firecrawl. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Firecrawl actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Firecrawl Scrape
Scrape one URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown or JSON.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Firecrawl Search
Search the web and optionally scrape every result.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Firecrawl Crawl
Crawl a whole website into clean content, page by page.
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.
Firecrawl Map
List a website's URLs, fast, without scraping content.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Firecrawl Batch Scrape
Scrape up to 500 known URLs as one durable job.
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.
Firecrawl Agent
Autonomous multi-page web research into structured JSON.
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.
