Notis

Remove outdated workflow context from character backstories

A deleted view may point to a process that no longer applies. Notis can review your guidance and refresh a character backstory to match the current context.

Trigger

View Deleted

Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.

Action

Update Character Backstory

Tool to update a character's backstory. Use when you need to modify the backstory of an existing character after confirming its ID. Only the provided fields will be updated.

Why this helps

Old workflow descriptions can linger in a character backstory after the Airtable view they describe is retired.

  • Prompts timely cleanup of retired workflow context
  • Updates only the existing character you specify
  • Keeps the reason for a change tied to your guidance

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and Convolo ai once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis which character backstory to review and provide the current context that should replace any retired guidance.
  • 4Pick Airtable View Deleted as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real deleted view and confirm the backstory contains current information.

Questions about this workflow

Will the deleted view's contents be recovered?

No. The trigger identifies a deleted view; provide the current context you want reflected in the backstory.

What does this update?

It updates the backstory of the existing Convolo character whose ID or identity you provide.
