Give a new Notion data source a quick introduction
A short explainer can make a newly created workspace structure easier to adopt from day one.
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
MiniMax Video (H3 Fast)
Text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video with MiniMax-H3-Fast, up to 480P.
Why this helps
New databases and data sources can feel like one more system to learn without clear context.
- Orient collaborators to a new data source.
- Make its purpose easier to remember.
- Reduce the need for repeated verbal walkthroughs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and MiniMax to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, request a short orientation video about each new data source using MiniMax H3 Fast.
- 4Select Data Source Created and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real data source and check that the explanation is clear.
Questions about this workflow
Could a template create several videos?
A template may create multiple data sources, and the event can fire once for each one.
Can the video describe intended use?
Yes. Include the intended audience and the practical purpose in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to MiniMax. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
MiniMax actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
MiniMax Text to Speech
Turn text into lifelike speech with MiniMax speech-2.8 / 2.6 / 02 voices.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
MiniMax Image (image-01 / image-01-live)
Text-to-image and image-to-image with MiniMax (image-01 / image-01-live).
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
MiniMax Video (H3 Fast)
Text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video with MiniMax-H3-Fast, up to 480P.
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.
MiniMax Video (H3 Max Turbo)
Text-to-video, image-to-video with MiniMax-H3-Max-Turbo, up to 768P.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
MiniMax Video (Hailuo-2.3)
Text-to-video and image-to-video with MiniMax Hailuo-2.3.
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.
MiniMax Music
Text-to-music: turn a style prompt and lyrics into a full song (MiniMax Music 3.0 / 2.6).
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.
