Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow update Contentful automatically?
No. It uses Get space to retrieve details and report them. The event does not establish that the Contentful space needs an update.
What space should Notis retrieve?
Name the Contentful space or provide its ID in your instruction. The action retrieves a specific space by ID.
Can Notis infer which Contentful space matches the Airtable base?
Only if you give Notis a reliable way to identify the relationship. Otherwise, specify the space or ask for a report that flags the missing context.
