Start market coverage research with a new data source

When you set up a market data source, an Opoint search can provide a useful first layer of outside coverage.

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

Search News with Filters

Search news with structured expression lines and typed filter ids.

Why this helps

Building a research database can leave the actual research waiting for another work session.

  • Start coverage research as a data source is created.
  • Use a structured search to narrow the first results.
  • Keep setup and initial research closer together.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Opoint to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to run a structured Opoint news search when a market-research data source is created.
  • 3Select the Notion Data Source Created trigger and choose a run-report channel.
  • 4Create a test data source and review the search results for relevance.

Questions about this workflow

Could one database template trigger this several times?

Yes. A template can create multiple data sources and produce multiple events, so write your instruction to handle each relevant source appropriately.

Will it search every new data source?

The trigger is workspace-wide. Describe the market-research context in the instruction so Notis can identify when an Opoint search is relevant.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Opoint. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Opoint actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Fetch Articles by Id

Fetch specific articles by their site and article id pairs.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Resolve Filter Ids

Translate a country, site, language, or media name into a search filter id.

ActionInstant

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.

Search News Headlines

Search global news and return headlines only, without article text.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

Search News

Search global news by keyword, phrase, or boolean query with filters.

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.
