Keep document generation status with its request
Update an existing Airtable record when a new generation run starts, so the request and its latest details stay together.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update record
Modifies specified fields of an existing record in an airtable base and table; the base, table, and record must exist.
Why this helps
Status information gets separated from the original request, leaving founders to reconcile progress by hand.
- Keep run details alongside the original request.
- Reduce manual status updates.
- Make active document work easier to review.
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 how to update the existing request record with details supplied to the webhook.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and its existing Airtable record.
Questions about this workflow
Does this find the right Airtable record automatically?
Tell Notis how to identify the existing record using information available in the webhook request. Supply any missing identifier.
Does the action create a new record?
No. This workflow uses the update record action, so the Airtable base, table, and record must already exist.
