Keep EmailOctopus Fields in Step with Airtable
Airtable fields evolve. Let Notis review schema changes and add approved custom fields to the right EmailOctopus list.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Fires when tables, fields, or views change in a base.
Action
Create Field
Creates a custom field on a mailing list.
Why this helps
New Airtable fields can be missed when someone later updates a subscriber list or campaign by hand.
- Reduce manual checks after an Airtable schema update.
- Keep subscriber lists ready for approved campaign data.
- Apply your rules before adding fields to a mailing list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which Airtable schema changes should add a custom field to which EmailOctopus list.
- 3Pick the Airtable Base Schema Changed trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real schema change and confirm the resulting field.
Questions about this workflow
Will every Airtable field change create an EmailOctopus field?
Only if your instruction says to create one for that kind of change. Specify which Airtable fields qualify and how to identify the corresponding EmailOctopus list.
Does this copy Airtable records into EmailOctopus?
No. The trigger reports schema changes, not record updates. This workflow adds an approved custom field; it does not sync subscriber records.
