Keep your BotStar widget aligned with Airtable schema updates
When your Airtable structure changes, prompt Notis to refresh the BotStar widget using the configuration details you supply.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Action
Livechat boot
Tool to reinitialize the live chat widget with provided data. use after initial load to reset or update widget configuration.
Why this helps
Schema changes can leave a live chat experience out of sync while you manually track down and refresh widget settings.
- Reduce the manual follow-up needed after Airtable structure updates.
- Keep widget configuration refreshes tied to the event that prompted them.
- Use a prompt to specify the BotStar configuration data to apply.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and BotStar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe how to reinitialize the BotStar widget and provide the configuration data to use.
- 4Pick the Airtable Base Schema Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real schema change and confirm the widget refresh.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow infer new BotStar settings from the Airtable schema?
No. Include the BotStar configuration details you want applied in your instruction. The schema change event identifies when to run.
What does the action do?
It reinitializes the live chat widget with provided data after initial load. It does not modify Airtable or BotStar flows.
