Automatically Create Twitter Lists for Projects
Every time you create a new project database in Notion, automatically create a matching Twitter list. Organize your audience by initiative without manual list creation.
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
Create a list
Creates a new, empty list on x (formerly twitter), for which the provided name must be unique for the authenticated user; accounts are added separately.
Why this helps
New projects lack organization structure on Twitter. Manual list creation is tedious and often skipped.
- Organize followers by project instantly
- Eliminate manual list creation overhead
- Stay organized as projects grow
- Track relevant conversations per initiative
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Twitter to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation by telling Notis: 'When I create a new database in Notion, create a new Twitter list with the database name.'
- 3Select 'Notion event' as the trigger and choose 'Database Created'.
- 4Tell Notis to make the list private or public based on your preference.
- 5Test by creating a test database in Notion and verify a new Twitter list appears in your lists within a minute.
Questions about this workflow
What if I create a database I don't want a Twitter list for?
Tell Notis a naming pattern to watch for. For example: 'Only create lists for databases that start with PROJECT.' That prevents unwanted lists.
Can I customize the list description automatically?
Yes. Tell Notis what to include. For example: 'Add a description like: Followers interested in [project name].' Notis will add it automatically.
Will the list be public or private?
Your choice. Tell Notis your preference: 'Make all new lists private by default' or 'Make them public.' Notis respects your settings.
What if the project name is already used in another list?
Notis will let you know and ask you to rename the database or approve a variation. This prevents duplicate list names.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Twitter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Twitter actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Add a list member
Adds a user to a specified twitter list; the list must be owned by the authenticated user.
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.
Add post to bookmarks
Adds a specified, existing, and accessible tweet to a user's bookmarks, with success indicated by the 'bookmarked' field in the response.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get bookmarks by user
Retrieves tweets bookmarked by the authenticated user, where the provided user id must match the authenticated user's id.
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.
Create group DM conversation
Creates a new group direct message (dm) conversation on twitter with specified participant ids and an initial message, which can include text and media attachments.
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.
Create compliance job
Creates a new compliance job to check the status of tweet or user ids; upload ids as a plain text file (one id per line) to the `upload url` received in the response.
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.
Create a list
Creates a new, empty list on x (formerly twitter), for which the provided name must be unique for the authenticated user; accounts are added separately.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Create a post
Creates a tweet on twitter; `text` is required unless `card uri`, `media media ids`, `poll options`, or `quote tweet id` is provided.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Delete direct message
Permanently deletes a specific twitter direct message (dm) event using its `event id` if the authenticated user sent it; this action is irreversible and does not delete entire conversations.
