Your team gets notified when new Notion views appear

New Notion views (board views, calendar views, timeline views, etc.) are powerful but easy to miss. This automation announces them to Slack so your team discovers them and uses them instead of defaulting to the table view.

Trigger

View Created

Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.

Post message to channel

Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.

Why this helps

Neurodivergent founders often create helpful views in Notion to organize work for their thinking style, but forget to tell the team. Views stay hidden and unused, defeating their purpose.

  • Team members discover new views designed to help their specific workflow
  • Reduces duplication when people would otherwise create their own views
  • Views become team resources instead of invisible personal utilities
  • Improves adoption of organizational changes made in Notion

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Slack to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a new view is created in my workspace databases, post to Slack announcing what type of view it is (board, calendar, timeline, etc.) and which database it belongs to.'
  • 3Select 'View Created' as your trigger.
  • 4Specify the Slack channel for receiving view announcements.
  • 5Test by creating a new view in a Notion database and confirm it posts to Slack within seconds.

Questions about this workflow

Can I filter announcements for only certain types of views?

Yes. Tell Notis 'only announce calendar and timeline views' or 'only views created in my main project database' to reduce noise.

What information appears in the Slack post?

The view type (board, calendar, list, gantt, timeline, table, gallery), the database name, and who created it. You can customize this in your automation prompt.

Will this spam the channel if we're testing many views?

It will post for every view created. Consider creating a separate channel for Notion announcements if you're doing heavy experimentation.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

All Page Events

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

TriggerPolling

Set snooze duration

Deprecated: turns on do not disturb mode for the current user, or changes its duration. use `set dnd duration` instead.

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.

TriggerInstant

Add a custom emoji to a Slack team

Deprecated: adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url. use `add emoji` instead.

ActionInstant

New Comment

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

TriggerPolling

Add an emoji alias

Adds an alias for an existing custom emoji in a slack enterprise grid organization.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Add a remote file

Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.

ActionInstant

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

Add a star to an item

Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerInstant

Add call participants

Registers new participants added to a slack call.

ActionInstant

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

TriggerPolling

Add emoji

Adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url; subject to workspace emoji limits.

ActionInstant

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

TriggerPolling

Add reaction to message

Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
