Notis

Refresh a set of Airtable records together

For records that need the same recurring check, retrieve current details and apply the results in bulk.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Update multiple records

Updates multiple existing records in a specified airtable table; these updates are not performed atomically.

Why this helps

Updating a long list of records one by one turns routine data upkeep into a time sink.

  • Reduce repeated record-by-record upkeep.
  • Refresh several existing records in one scheduled workflow.
  • Keep routine data maintenance visible through run reports.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Api Ninjas and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis which records to refresh, what to retrieve through Api Ninjas, and how to update each record.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test on a small set of real records and review the results.

Questions about this workflow

Are the updates atomic?

No. Airtable's Update multiple records action does not perform updates atomically.

How should I choose the records?

Describe a usable selection rule based on fields in your Airtable table and the information available to the workflow.
