Move queued contact research into existing records
Let a scheduled workflow work through the Airtable contacts you have marked for research and add returned details to each record.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
A research queue only helps when its results make it back to the contact records you use.
- Connect research tasks to the records they concern
- Keep enrichment outcomes in the existing contact list
- Reduce manual copy and paste after research
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bettercontact and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: review contacts marked for research in the named Airtable table, enrich them, and update each matching record with returned details while preserving unrelated fields.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one queued contact and confirm the intended record was updated.
