Investigate new research criteria as your Notion schema evolves

Add or revise a research column and ask Firecrawl to investigate the updated criteria, with findings ready for review.

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

A new tracking field can leave you wondering what reliable sources or definitions should inform it.

  • Connect a structural database change to useful source discovery.
  • Clarify new research criteria with current web evidence.
  • Reduce the setup effort behind evolving processes.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Firecrawl to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to research newly added or renamed criteria when the research data source schema changes.
  • 3Select Data Source Schema Updated and scope it to the relevant data source if appropriate.
  • 4Choose where run reports should appear and test with a real schema change.

Questions about this workflow

Does this run when a database is created?

This trigger is for schema changes to a data source, such as adding, removing, or renaming a column.

Can the workflow see what changed?

The event includes updated property details, which can help the instruction focus on the relevant criteria.

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.

TriggerScheduled

Firecrawl Scrape

Scrape one URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown or JSON.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Firecrawl Search

Search the web and optionally scrape every result.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Firecrawl Crawl

Crawl a whole website into clean content, page by page.

ActionInstant

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

Firecrawl Map

List a website's URLs, fast, without scraping content.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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.

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.
