Turn a Critical Airtable Schema Change into a Datadog Monitor
For changes tied to a critical service, have Notis create the monitor details you specify while the change is fresh.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Action
Create monitor
Creates a new datadog monitor to track metrics, logs, or other data sources with configurable alerting thresholds and notifications.
Why this helps
A schema change affecting an important workflow can call for additional monitoring, but the follow up is easy to lose in the release shuffle.
- Start monitor setup when a schema change happens.
- Keep the affected service and alert criteria explicit in your instruction.
- Reduce the chance that a monitoring follow up is forgotten.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and include the service, metric query, threshold, and notification details Datadog needs.
- 3Choose the Airtable Base Schema Changed trigger and select a report channel.
- 4Test with one real schema change and review the created monitor configuration in Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Does an Airtable schema change tell Notis which service or threshold to monitor?
No. Supply the service, metric query, threshold, and any notification details in your instruction. If you do not have those details, this workflow cannot infer them from the trigger.
Will every schema change create a monitor?
The automation follows your instruction. Specify the schema changes that should lead to monitor creation and provide the required monitor details.
