Find internships as you set up a planning database
Start an internship database in Notion and let Notis look for opportunities that fit the direction behind it.
Trigger
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.
Action
Search internships

Why this helps
Database setup can feel productive while leaving opportunity discovery for an uncertain later moment.
- Move from organizing an internship search to seeing relevant options.
- Use the new database's purpose to guide discovery.
- Give the setup session a practical next step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Idealist to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to search Idealist internships when an internship-planning database is created.
- 3State in one instruction how Notis should recognize the database's purpose and what internship criteria to use.
- 4Select Database Created and choose where run reports should arrive.
- 5Test by creating a new database with an explicit internship-planning purpose.
Questions about this workflow
Will a database created from a template trigger this?
The trigger covers creation of the Notion database container. Template creation may create multiple data sources as well.
Can I prevent unrelated databases from starting a search?
Include an instruction for Notis to proceed only when the database is clearly for internship planning.

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.

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.
