Reconcile feed values with device records
Ask Notis to compare current readings with your Airtable list and bring matching records up to date.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update multiple records
Updates multiple existing records in a specified airtable table; these updates are not performed atomically.
Why this helps
When several device records drift from current readings, fixing them one at a time takes focus away from other work.
- Review and update multiple matching records in one run.
- Keep a device inventory closer to current feed data.
- Reduce repetitive record maintenance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which feed values to compare, how to match records, and which existing fields to update.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Run it once against real feeds and records to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Are updates atomic?
No. Airtable updates to multiple records are not performed atomically, so a run may update some records before another update fails.
What information must be available?
The feed values and a stable value shared with the Airtable records are needed to identify matches.
