Update records when fresh API data is available
Pass a record reference and lookup input to a webhook, retrieve current data, and update the matching Airtable record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update record
Modifies specified fields of an existing record in an airtable base and table; the base, table, and record must exist.
Why this helps
Records become stale because checking external sources and updating fields takes time away from other work.
- Bring fresh lookup results into an existing record.
- Avoid re-entering values by hand.
- Keep updates tied to the record you identify in the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apiverve and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for record refresh.
- 3Tell Notis what to look up, how to identify the existing record, and which values to update.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real record and confirm the intended fields changed.
Questions about this workflow
How does the workflow know which record to update?
Include enough identifying information in the webhook request and instruction to locate the intended existing record.
Will this replace every field?
The Update record action modifies specified fields. Instruct Notis to update only the values that should change.
