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.

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.

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

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.
