A base rename or permission change can affect how people find and access shared work. Give the change a focused Coda home.
Trigger
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Action
Create doc
Creates a new coda doc, optionally copying an existing doc. note that creating a doc requires you to be a doc maker in the applicable workspace (or be auto-promoted to one).
Why this helps
Base level changes are easy to miss, yet they can disrupt access expectations and internal references.
- Give base name and permission changes a dedicated review doc.
- Keep access or naming follow-up visible.
- Preserve the event details with explanations supplied by your team.

- 1Connect Airtable and Coda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Coda doc for each base metadata change and include available details plus any review guidance you supply.
- 4Pick Airtable Base Metadata Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real base metadata change.
