Why this helps

A broad vehicle idea can be difficult to turn into a manageable shortlist when researching models takes several separate steps.

  • Turn a broad make-level idea into named models to consider.
  • Reduce initial research steps before building a shortlist.
  • Keep exploration connected to the note that prompted it.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Kelley Blue Book to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation prompt asking for Kelley Blue Book models for the make named in each new research entry.
  • 3Select New Page for the Notion research data source and pick a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real make and check that the returned model list answers the intended question.

Questions about this workflow

Should I include a year?

The List models action is for finding models by make. Include year context in the prompt if it helps clarify your research, and use the year-list action when year availability is the main question.

Can I use this for a shortlist?

Yes. The returned models can inform which candidates you capture in your Notion shortlist.

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.

TriggerInstant

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.
