Make source links easier to review from your notes
Add or revise links in a Notion research note and get clean page text ready for review, without reopening every source yourself.
Trigger
Page Content Updated
Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).
Action
Octen Extract

Why this helps
Research notes often collect links faster than a founder can revisit and remember what each page said.
- Review source content in a readable form.
- Spend less time reopening and scanning tabs.
- Keep research momentum after updating a note.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Octen to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what should happen in plain language.
- 3Give one instruction to extract the web URLs from edited research notes into clean markdown for review.
- 4Select the Notion Page Content Updated trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test by adding a real source URL to a research note and updating its content.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Octen. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Octen actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Octen Broad Search
Broad web search — decompose a query into sub-queries from multiple angles and search concurrently.
Webhook trigger

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Octen Embedding
Convert text into embedding vectors.
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.
Octen Extract
Extract clean, LLM-ready markdown from web pages — up to 20 URLs per call.
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.
