Preserve Deletion Context for Audit Trails
View deleted in Airtable? Notis creates an audit document capturing what was in it and why it might have been removed. Your deletion history stays documented.
Trigger
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Action
Update File (Metadata)
Updates file metadata. uses patch semantics (partial update) as per google drive api v3. use this tool to modify attributes of an existing file like its name, description, or parent folders. note: this action currently supports metadata updates only. file content updates require multipart/related upload and are not yet implemented.
Why this helps
Founders delete views to clean up bases but later wonder what was there or why it was removed. Without audit trails, deletions become mysterious, and re-creating views from memory is error-prone.
- Deletions are never truly opaque
- Audit trail preserved automatically
- Can reconstruct deleted views if needed
- Historical context preserved forever
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Google Drive.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a view is deleted from Airtable, create an audit document in Google Drive noting its name, the records it contained, and the deletion time.'
- 3Specify an audit folder for these documents.
- 4Test by deleting a view and verifying the audit doc appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I add a reason for the deletion manually?
Yes. Leave a note in Airtable before deleting, and Notis can capture that context.
How detailed are the audit documents?
They include view name, record count, creation date, and deletion time. Specify what else you want.
Can I organize audits by month or project?
Absolutely. Mention that in your prompt for automatic organization.
