Give a new research project a useful starting scan
A new database can signal the start of a project. Ask Notis to search Opoint for the topic so your first research pass is ready to review.
Trigger
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.
Action
Search News
Search global news by keyword, phrase, or boolean query with filters.
Why this helps
A new research project can create a long list of setup tasks before substantive work begins.
- Pair a new research workspace with an initial news scan.
- Find relevant coverage early in a project.
- Reduce the number of setup steps competing for attention.
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 search Opoint for coverage related to a newly created research database.
- 3Select the Notion Database Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Create a test research database and review the returned articles.
Questions about this workflow
Is this the same as creating a data source?
No. Database Created fires when the database container is created. A data source created inside an existing database is a separate event.
How can I make the search relevant to my project?
Describe the project topic or the context Notis should use in the plain-language instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Opoint. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Opoint actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Search News with Filters
Search news with structured expression lines and typed filter ids.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Resolve Filter Ids
Translate a country, site, language, or media name into a search filter id.
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.
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.
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.
