Update GitHub status checks based on Airtable schema changes
Add a new 'payment-processing' field to your Airtable schema, and Notis automatically adds a 'payment-ci-check' status requirement to your GitHub protected branch—CI pipeline stays aligned.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Action
Add status check contexts
Adds status check contexts (provided in the request body, e.g., `{"contexts": ["new-context"]}`) to a protected branch, requiring these contexts to have been previously reported.
Why this helps
You add new critical fields to your Airtable schema (payment data, GDPR compliance fields), but your GitHub branch protection still requires the old CI checks. New code paths don't get validated properly.
- GitHub CI pipeline automatically adapts to Airtable schema changes
- New code paths get proper validation without manual GitHub updates
- Reduces the risk of deploying code that doesn't match your data model
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When my Airtable schema adds a new critical field, add a matching status check to my protected branch' or create via portal.
- 3Select 'Base Schema Changed' as your trigger.
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by adding a new field to your Airtable base and confirming a status check is added to GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis map Airtable fields to GitHub status checks?
You specify the mapping: 'If Airtable adds a 'payment' field, add 'payment-validation-check' to GitHub.'
Can I add checks to multiple branches at once?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Add to main, staging, and develop branches.'
What if I want to remove checks when fields are deleted?
Create a companion automation: 'When a field is deleted from Airtable, remove the matching status check from GitHub.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Airtable to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Airtable triggers
GitHub actions
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
