New Notion Database = Instant Airtable Base
Create a database in Notion to organize a new project or client, and Notis automatically creates a matching Airtable base. Both are ready to go in seconds.
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 base
Creates a new airtable base with specified tables and fields within a workspace; ensure field options are valid for their type.
Why this helps
You set up a new database in Notion for a project, but then have to manually create the structure in Airtable separately. This setup work delays your ability to start tracking, and you often skip it.
- New structures are created in both tools automatically
- Reduces setup friction and delays
- Ensures consistency across your tracking systems
- Ready to use immediately without manual configuration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Airtable to Notis in the portal
- 2Tell Notis: 'When I create a new database in Notion, automatically create a matching base in Airtable with the same tables and fields'
- 3Notis maps Notion database structure to Airtable base structure automatically
- 4Create a new Notion database and watch Airtable create a base for it automatically
- 5Verify the tables and fields match your intent, then start using both tools
Questions about this workflow
How closely does the Airtable base match the Notion database?
Notis reads your Notion structure and creates a parallel Airtable base with the same tables, field names, and types. You can customize further after creation if needed.
What if I have custom Notion configurations (views, filters)?
Notis focuses on the core structure. Views and filters can be set up separately in Airtable, or ask Notis to add specific views during creation.
Can I choose which Airtable workspace receives the new base?
Yes. Tell Notis which Airtable workspace you prefer, or it uses your default workspace.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Airtable. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Airtable actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create base
Creates a new airtable base with specified tables and fields within a workspace; ensure field options are valid for their type.
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.
Create Comment
Creates a new comment on a specific record within an airtable base and table.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Field
Creates a new field within a specified table in an airtable base.
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 multiple records
Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.
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 a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
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 table
Creates a new table within a specified existing airtable base, allowing definition of its name, description, and field structure.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Delete Comment
Deletes an existing comment from a specified record in an airtable table.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Delete multiple records
Deletes up to 10 specified records from a table within an airtable base.
