Why this helps
View cleanup can leave people unsure whether related ways of reviewing records also need attention.
- Get Affinity saved-view metadata in the report when an Airtable view is deleted.
- Give a reviewer context for deciding whether any Affinity view needs attention.
- Keep cleanup decisions visible for follow-up.
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 metadata for the relevant Affinity saved view and include it in a review report after an Airtable view is deleted.
- 4Choose the Airtable View Deleted trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real deletion and confirm the report provides useful context.
Questions about this workflow
Can this identify an Affinity view that matches the deleted Airtable view?
The available action retrieves metadata for one saved view. Notis can include that metadata, but a reliable relationship must be supplied in the instruction or reviewed by a person.
Does this delete anything in Affinity?
No. The listed action only retrieves saved-view metadata.
