Make deleted Airtable views visible to stakeholders
A deleted view may affect instructions or routines. Notify the Canvas roles you choose and include the review action you want them to take.
Trigger
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Action
Create account notification
Creates a global notification within a canvas account, ensuring `end at` is after `start at` and any specified `notification roles` are valid.
Why this helps
When a view disappears, people who rely on it may continue following outdated instructions or processes.
- Surface view deletions to selected Canvas roles.
- Prompt a review of potentially affected guidance.
- Avoid relying on a missing view without noticing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the notification message, valid Canvas roles, and review action.
- 3Pick the Airtable View Deleted trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real view deletion and confirm the notification.
Questions about this workflow
Does the deletion event identify every process that used the view?
No. The event signals a known view was deleted. Provide dependent processes or documentation sources in your instruction if they need review.
Can the notification go to any role?
Use valid notification roles supported by the Canvas account. The notification end time must be after its start time.
