Start a new research source with global context
A new data source can trigger an IQAir world overview to help you begin with a wider view of air conditions.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get world air quality
Monitor real-time and historical air quality data worldwide, including global rankings, city-specific pollution details, and map visualizations. Search live city rankings and access comprehensive air quality information to track pollution levels across the globe.
Why this helps
Launching a new research structure can leave the first context-gathering step vague or easy to defer.
- Add a global context check to a new research source.
- Reduce friction at the start of a new research workflow.
- Receive the overview in the channel you already use for runs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and IQAir to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to request an IQAir world overview when a research source appears.
- 3Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger and choose a report channel.
- 4Test by creating a real data source for an active research need.
Questions about this workflow
What does this trigger represent?
It fires when a Notion data source is created. A template-based database may produce more than one event, one for each data source it creates.
Can the overview focus on a region?
The selected action requests world air quality. Ask Notis in your prompt to emphasize a relevant region when summarizing the returned context.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to IQAir. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get air quality map data
Monitor real-time and historical air quality data worldwide, including global rankings, city-specific pollution details, and map visualizations. Search live city rankings and access comprehensive air quality information to track pollution levels across the globe.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get world air quality
Monitor real-time and historical air quality data worldwide, including global rankings, city-specific pollution details, and map visualizations. Search live city rankings and access comprehensive air quality information to track pollution levels across the globe.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Get live city rankings
Monitor real-time and historical air quality data worldwide, including global rankings, city-specific pollution details, and map visualizations. Search live city rankings and access comprehensive air quality information to track pollution levels across the globe.
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.
Get city air quality
Monitor real-time and historical air quality data worldwide, including global rankings, city-specific pollution details, and map visualizations. Search live city rankings and access comprehensive air quality information to track pollution levels across the globe.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
