Find the existing record behind an incoming error
When an error arrives, look for its matching Airtable record and bring the current details into the run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List records
Retrieves records from an airtable table, with options for filtering, sorting, pagination, and specifying returned fields.
Why this helps
Incoming error reports can be hard to triage when the team has to search Airtable manually for prior context.
- Bring prior record context into an incoming error review.
- Reduce manual searching during triage.
- Help identify whether a matching record is already present.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bug Recorder and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for error lookup.
- 3Tell Notis what details in the request to use when listing matching Airtable records and what context to report.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the matching record results.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a record when no match exists?
No. This workflow lists records and reports the result. A separate instruction and create action would be needed to create a new record.
What if the request does not contain a useful matching value?
The workflow needs a matching detail that is present in the request and Airtable. If that is missing, it should report that it could not identify a match.
