Understand the existing tables and fields before deciding how a new document workflow fits into Airtable.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Base Schema
Retrieves the detailed schema for a specified airtable base, including its tables, fields, field types, and configurations, using the `baseid`.
Why this helps
Starting a new process without knowing the existing tracker structure can lead to duplicate or mismatched tracking.
- See existing tables and fields before extending a process.
- Avoid creating a parallel tracker by mistake.
- Make a more informed setup decision.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe in one instruction which base schema to retrieve and what existing structure to summarize.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real base id.
Questions about this workflow
