- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to fetch Cats portal metadata after a schema change and summarize it for review.
- 4Pick the Airtable Base Schema Changed trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real schema change example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow update Airtable or Cats?
No. The available Cats action lists portal metadata. Notis can use the returned information to prepare a review summary, but this workflow does not change either app.
What starts the automation?
An Airtable change to tables, fields, or views starts it.
Can it tell me what the schema change means for Cats?
Not by itself. Ask Notis to summarize the available portal metadata, and provide any project-specific context needed to assess implications.
