Notis

Keep tabs on who has access to your Airtable

Base gets renamed or permissions change. Notis logs it immediately to your audit sheet, so you know exactly what changed and when.

Trigger

Base Metadata Changed

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

Action

Update Sheet Properties

Tool to update properties of a sheet (worksheet) within a google spreadsheet, such as its title, index, visibility, tab color, or grid properties. use this when you need to modify the metadata or appearance of a specific sheet.

Why this helps

Airtable permissions and base names shift, but you don't have a record of who can access what or when access was granted.

  • Maintain transparent record of base access changes
  • Quickly spot unauthorized permission changes
  • Improve security audits and compliance reporting
  • Preserve history of structural changes over time

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and Google Sheets to Notis
  • 2Create automation: 'When my Airtable base metadata changes (name or sharing), log the base name, change type, and timestamp to my Base Audit sheet'
  • 3Set trigger to 'Base Metadata Changed' and action to 'Append Values to Spreadsheet'
  • 4Set up notification to alert you when permissions change
  • 5Test by renaming a base or adjusting sharing and verify the log entry in Google Sheets

Questions about this workflow

Does it track which user made the change?

Airtable logs the user. Notis captures this if available in the metadata.

Can it alert on specific permission changes (e.g., making base public)?

Yes. Tell Notis to highlight or alert on certain permission types.

How far back does the history go?

Your Google Sheets log preserves all changes from setup forward. Airtable's API usually provides recent changes.

Can it prevent unauthorized sharing?

No, but logging allows quick detection and rollback of unwanted changes.
