Create Anthropic Message
Tool to create a model response using DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible API format with support for system prompts, tool calling, streaming, and thinking mode. Use when you need to generate chat completions using the Anthropic Messages API format. Requires base_url='https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic' or metadata base_url ending with '/anthropic'.

Why this helps
A view can change meaning after a rename or type update, leaving teammates unsure whether their routine still applies.
- Produce a short explanation for a view metadata update.
- Separate known change details from questions that need human context.
- Keep change notes consistent across view updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and DeepSeek once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for view change notes.
- 3Describe in one instruction that DeepSeek should draft a concise note from the view metadata change and identify any unknown impact.
- 4Pick the Airtable View Metadata Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real view metadata change example.
Questions about this workflow
Why use the Anthropic Message action here?
It creates a response through DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible API format. The action requires the configured base URL to be https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic.
Does the note explain why the view changed?
Only if a reason is included in the information available to the automation. Otherwise, the response should identify that reason as unknown.
