Align an Amplitude event type with an Airtable view change
If your team explicitly ties an analytics event type to an Airtable view, Notis can handle the metadata follow-up when that view changes.
Trigger
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
Action
Update Amplitude Event Type
Update an existing event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - change event type properties - update event name, category, metadata, and settings - modify display name for ingested events key features: - updates event type configuration - supports partial updates (only specified fields are changed)
Why this helps
Airtable view names evolve, leaving related analytics labels out of date when nobody owns the small cleanup task.
- Prompt a focused analytics metadata update after a view change.
- Reduce naming drift when the relationship is documented.
- Send a report when the intended Amplitude event type is unclear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Amplitude to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, specify the exact relationship between the Airtable view and Amplitude event type, and ask Notis to update only when the changed value is available and unambiguous.
- 4Choose the View Metadata Changed trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real view metadata change and review the Amplitude update and run report.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer which event type matches the view?
No. Provide the relationship in the automation instruction or other available context. If it is ambiguous, instruct Notis to report the issue without changing an event type.
Which view changes can trigger this?
The trigger runs when a known Airtable view changes its name or type. The event details determine what specific change Notis can use.
Does an update rename ingested events?
Amplitude's event type update action supports event configuration changes, including display name. The effect depends on the fields supplied and Amplitude's behavior.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Airtable to Amplitude. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Airtable triggers
Amplitude actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Check Amplitude Cohort Status
Check the status of a cohort export request. this action allows you to: - poll the status of an in-progress cohort download request - determine if a cohort is ready for download
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Amplitude Event Category
Create a new event category in amplitude. this action allows you to: - create a new event category to organize event types - validate category name before creation key features: - creates event categories for organizing events - returns success/failure status
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Delete Amplitude Event Category
Delete an event category from amplitude. this action allows you to: - delete an existing event category - remove category organization from events key features: - permanently removes event categories - returns success/failure status
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
Delete Amplitude Event Type
Delete an event type from amplitude. this action allows you to: - remove an event type from your project - mark live events as deleted - remove planned events from the tracking plan key features: - different behavior based on event status (live, planned, etc.) - returns success/failure status
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Request Amplitude Cohort
Get a single cohort by id and initiate download. this action allows you to: - request a specific cohort from amplitude - optionally include user properties in the response - start the asynchronous download process key features: - supports filtering by specific user properties - returns a request id used for polling status and downloading - supports eu data residency
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Get Amplitude Event Categories
Get event categories from amplitude. this action allows you to: - get all event categories in your project - get a specific category by name
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
Get Amplitude Event Type
Get a specific event type from amplitude by name. this action allows you to: - retrieve detailed information about a single event type - get all properties and metadata for the event key features: - retrieves comprehensive event type details - returns metadata like category, description, and settings - supports lookup by exact event name
