Alert Your Team to New Notion Data Sources
New data sources expand your Notion workspace's capability. Tell your team about them in Telegram with full context.
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
Send Document
Send general files (documents) to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Data sources are added (often via templates) but teams don't know. Neurodivergent members miss the expansion and don't realize new data is available.
- Ensure the team is aware when new data sources are added to Notion
- Provide context on what the new data source is for
- Enable quick onboarding to new data structures
- Build a log of workspace expansions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new data source is created in Notion, send a Telegram document describing the data source, its purpose, who created it, and key fields.'
- 3Select the trigger: 'Notion: Data Source Created'.
- 4Configure Telegram as your action and choose your team channel.
- 5Test by creating a new data source in Notion (or using a template) and verify the Telegram document.
Questions about this workflow
What details should the Telegram document include?
Your prompt controls it: 'Include the data source name, the number of fields, and any pre-populated records' and Notis will compile that information.
Will this trigger for every data source creation, even temporary ones?
Notis detects all creations in your integration scope. Filter with your prompt: 'Only alert for data sources in our Team Workspace, not personal ones'.
Can the document include a link to the new data source?
Yes. Request it: 'Include a link so the team can jump to the new data source' and Notis will embed it.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Telegram. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Telegram actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Answer Callback Query
Use this method to send answers to callback queries sent from inline keyboards. the answer will be displayed to the user as a notification at the top of the chat screen or as an alert.
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.
Delete Message
Delete a message, including service messages, with certain limitations.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Edit Message
Edit text messages sent by the bot.
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.
Export Chat Invite Link
Generate a new primary invite link for a chat; any previously generated primary link is revoked. the bot must be an administrator in the chat for this to work and must have the appropriate administrator rights.
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.
Forward Message
Forward messages of any kind. service messages can't be forwarded.
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.
Get Chat Info
Get up to date information about the chat (current name of the user for one-on-one conversations, current username of a user, group or channel, etc.).
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Get Chat Administrators
Get a list of administrators in a chat. on success, returns an array of chatmember objects that contains information about all chat administrators except other bots.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Get Chat History
Get chat history messages. note: this uses the getupdates method with specific parameters to retrieve historical messages.
