Notis

Keep document notes attached to the work

Gather comments from a tracked document record on a schedule so decisions and handoff context are easier to find.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

List Comments

Retrieves all comments for a specific record in an airtable table, requiring existing `baseid`, `tableidorname`, and `recordid`.

Why this helps

Useful instructions in record comments can be overlooked when they are buried among other work.

  • Bring record comments into a concise review.
  • Keep important context tied to the document record.
  • Reduce manual comment checking.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Describe in one instruction which base, table, and record comments to retrieve and summarize.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real record that has comments.
