Keep document analysis plans aligned with Airtable schema changes
A table or field change can affect the context behind your document questions. Have Notis ask Aryn for a plan you can review before running a query.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Action
Generate plan
Tool to generate a query plan without executing it. use when you need to review the logical plan before running your query (e.g., "generate a plan for revenue breakdown by region").
Why this helps
After changing Airtable tables or fields, it is easy to forget which document questions depend on that structure or to run analysis without checking the plan.
- Surface a query plan when Airtable tables or fields change.
- Review the analysis logic before any query runs.
- Keep the document question and any needed context explicit in the automation prompt.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Aryn once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to generate an Aryn plan for the document question you specify when Airtable schema changes, including any context the plan needs.
- 4Pick the Airtable Base Schema Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real schema change and review the generated plan.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run the Aryn query?
No. It uses Aryn's Generate plan action to prepare a plan without executing the query.
Can it infer a document question from the changed fields?
The automation prompt should name the question or explain how to choose one. Do not assume the trigger supplies business context that is not listed.
