Keep view change questions in one place
A renamed or retyped view may affect shared instructions. Start a thread where collaborators can ask questions and coordinate updates.
Trigger
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
Action
Create new thread in channel
Creates a new thread in a text or announcement discord channel; requires a 'name' and optionally other details (e.g., 'auto archive duration', an initial 'message') in the request body.
Why this helps
View metadata changes can leave old instructions circulating without an obvious place to flag them.
- Keep questions about a changed view together.
- Make follow-up to shared instructions easier to coordinate.
- Create a clear discussion point for collaborators.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to open a thread with the changed view details and a prompt to review related instructions.
- 4Pick Airtable View Metadata Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real view metadata change and review the thread.
Questions about this workflow
Which metadata updates start this thread?
Airtable reports the event when the view's name or type changes.
Will Notis know which instructions reference the view?
No, unless those instructions and references are supplied to Notis.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Airtable to Discordbot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Airtable triggers
Discordbot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add recipient to group channel
Adds a user to a discord group direct message (dm) channel.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
