Check current postings as you organize nonprofit research
A new view can signal that you are ready to compare organizations. Notis can check Idealist postings for the organization your Notion view represents.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.
Action
List organization postings
Search and retrieve volunteer opportunities, jobs, internships, and nonprofit organizations from Idealist.org to find meaningful work or discover organizations aligned with your values. View detailed information about specific listings and organizations to make informed decisions about where to contribute your time and skills.
Why this helps
Creating a useful research view can leave the actual opportunity check as another task to remember.
- Add a current-postings check to organization research setup.
- Keep the opportunity lookup close to the view that organizes your review.
- Reduce the chance that a promising nonprofit stays unexplored.
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 check Idealist organization postings when a research view is created.
- 3Explain in one instruction how Notis should identify the organization from the view's context.
- 4Select View Created and choose the channel where run reports should arrive.
- 5Test by creating a view under an organization page with a clear nonprofit identity.

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.

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.
