Audit GitHub project permissions when Airtable views are deleted

Delete an obsolete Airtable view for a concluded project, and Notis automatically checks if your GitHub project still needs the same team permissions—catching orphaned project access.

Trigger

View Deleted

Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.

Action

Check team permissions for a project

Checks if a team has 'read', 'write', or 'admin' permissions for an organization's specific classic project, returning the project's details if access is confirmed.

Why this helps

You clean up old Airtable views from past projects, but the corresponding GitHub projects still grant access to teams that no longer work on them. Permission bloat grows silently.

  • Automatic cleanup of orphaned project permissions
  • Prevent stale team access to finished projects
  • Simplify permission audits and compliance reviews

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and GitHub to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When a view in my Airtable base is deleted, check if my GitHub projects still need team access for that view' or use the portal.
  • 3Select 'View Deleted' as your trigger.
  • 4Pick your notification channel.
  • 5Review the audit report and remove unnecessary team permissions from GitHub projects.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which GitHub projects relate to an Airtable view?

Specify the mapping in your prompt: 'The Q3-Roadmap view corresponds to the Q3-Roadmap GitHub project.'

Can this automation revoke permissions automatically?

Yes. Update your prompt to: 'Remove [team] access from the [project] GitHub project' and Notis will do it.

Does this trigger for all view deletions or just specific ones?

Filter in your prompt: 'Only for views whose names start with Q-*' or 'Only archived views.'

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

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

TriggerPolling

Accept a repository invitation

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

Base Schema Changed

Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

User Profile Changed

Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.

TriggerPolling

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

View Created

Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.

TriggerPolling

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

View Metadata Changed

Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Airtable and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
