Keep scheduled snapshots of your feed
Ask Notis to check a feed on a schedule and preserve the result in Airtable for comparison.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Without regular snapshots, it is hard to reconstruct what a feed showed at a particular point in time.
- Create a consistent record for scheduled reviews.
- Keep historical snapshots in one table.
- Reduce the need to remember manual check-ins.
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 to check and to save the scheduled result as an Airtable record.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Run it once with a real feed result to test the workflow.
