- Review changes without switching back to Airtable immediately.
- Use Notis to summarize returned event details and identify possible documentation gaps.

- 3Describe in one instruction that each schema change should become a concise Cody document with the change details and likely docs to review.
- 4Pick the Airtable Base Schema Changed trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real schema change.
Questions about this workflow
Does this update an existing Cody document?
No. The selected action creates a new document for each run. If you want a living change log, have the instruction request an append-ready entry and review how your Cody setup handles organization.
Can Notis tell which existing documents are affected?
It can summarize event details returned by Airtable, but it needs document context or criteria in your instruction to identify likely impacts.
