Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Base Schema
Retrieves the detailed schema for a specified airtable base, including its tables, fields, field types, and configurations, using the `baseid`.
Why this helps
Unfamiliar table structures lead to invalid fields, wrong tables, and rework.
- Prevents invalid updates
- Reveals field types and names
- Improves planning accuracy
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Chatfai and Airtable in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Schema aware planner.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the Airtable base schema and explain how it supports the requested Chatfai operation, calling out missing fields or constraints.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test it with one planned change.
Questions about this workflow
Can it identify missing fields?
Yes. Ask Notis to compare the request with the returned schema and list gaps.
Does this create fields?
No. It only inspects the schema; a separate workflow can create a field if needed.
