Make Airtable base changes easier to review
A base name or access change may deserve a quick ownership check. Pair the Airtable event with current Affinity user metadata in a Notis report.
Trigger
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Action
Get current user
Returns metadata about the current user.
Why this helps
Permission and naming changes can be overlooked when updates happen across separate workspaces.
- Receive a report when a base name or permission level changes.
- Include basic current Affinity user metadata for account context.
- Keep cross-tool review work visible in a chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Affinity once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve the current Affinity user metadata and summarize it with the Airtable base change.
- 4Choose the Airtable Base Metadata Changed trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real base metadata change and review the report.
