Triage pending document work with Airtable and Affinda results
Start a recurring review from your Airtable list and bring the relevant Affinda document results into the same decision.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List records
Retrieves records from an airtable table, with options for filtering, sorting, pagination, and specifying returned fields.
Why this helps
Founders can lose track of which documents need a decision when extraction results and follow-up lists live in separate places.
- Bring pending work into a scheduled review habit.
- Highlight records that need a human decision based on available data.
- Avoid inferring document status that is absent from Airtable or Affinda results.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the document triage review.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which Airtable records to inspect and how to compare them with Affinda results supplied for the run.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pending record and its related extraction result; review the triage output.
Questions about this workflow
What does this workflow use as a pending status?
It can use a status already present in the Airtable records you ask Notis to inspect. If there is no status field or clear rule, provide the criteria in your instruction.
Does the schedule retrieve Affinda documents by itself?
No. Affinda trigger events are not listed, so the schedule starts the run. Make the relevant Affinda results available to Notis for that run.
