Refresh multiple Airtable contacts from one BotPenguin handoff
Handle a batch of contact changes together when BotPenguin sends several updates at once.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update multiple records
Updates multiple existing records in a specified airtable table; these updates are not performed atomically.
Why this helps
Updating a batch of chatbot contacts one by one can consume time and leave records inconsistent.
- Process multiple contact updates in one run.
- Reduce repetitive record editing.
- Keep contact details aligned after a larger BotPenguin handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BotPenguin and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to apply each supplied contact update to its matching Airtable record.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with a small real batch and review each updated record.
Questions about this workflow
Are batch updates all-or-nothing?
No. Airtable updates multiple records non-atomically, so some records can succeed while others fail.
What should the batch payload contain?
Include enough information for Notis to identify each existing record and the updated values, with values compatible with the Airtable field types.
