Why this helps
Writers can lose momentum when a content idea is clear in words but still feels visually undefined.
- Make a new content idea easier to picture.
- Keep visual exploration tied to the editorial angle.
- Reduce the time between brief creation and creative direction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and OpenAI to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to create a precise cover image concept for each new content brief.
- 3Describe the piece's angle, audience, and desired visual in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Select New Page and scope it to the content brief data source.
- 5Choose where run reports should go and test with one real brief.

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

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Edit Image
Reference-image editing with gpt-image-2.
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.

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.
