Give new Airtable views a useful team introduction
A new view is more useful when people know how and when to use it. Open a thread where collaborators can add context.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
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
A view announcement without a place for questions can leave its intended use unclear.
- Create a place for teammates to explain the view's use.
- Keep related questions together.
- Make new views easier to adopt across the team.
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 create a thread for the new view and include the event details available.
- 4Pick Airtable View Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real view creation and review the thread.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis describe the intended use of the view?
Only when the purpose is included in the event information or your instruction.
Can teammates reply in the thread?
Yes, if they can access the parent channel and thread under the server's permissions.

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.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
