Audit Firewalls After an Airtable Base Metadata Change

A change to access or ownership context is a useful moment to review your firewall inventory and keep your operational picture current.

Trigger

Base Metadata Changed

Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.

Action

List All Firewalls

Tool to list all firewalls on your digitalocean account. use when you need to audit or manage firewall rules with optional pagination.

Why this helps

Changes in how a team organizes or accesses information can go unnoticed alongside infrastructure that deserves a periodic review.

  • Pair a base metadata change with a firewall inventory review.
  • Make infrastructure review easier to remember and complete.
  • Send findings to a chosen Notis run report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list DigitalOcean firewalls and summarize the returned inventory for review.
  • 4Pick Airtable Base Metadata Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real base name or permission level change.

Questions about this workflow

Does the Airtable event tell Notis exactly what permission changed?

It triggers when the base name or permission level changes. Use the available event details and do not assume it includes a full access audit.

Does this automation edit firewall rules?

No. It uses List All Firewalls to retrieve inventory for a report. It does not update or create firewall rules.
