Set up an Airtable table for Clay research

Give a focused research queue its own home in your Airtable base.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create table

Creates a new table within a specified existing airtable base, allowing definition of its name, description, and field structure.

Why this helps

Research records mixed into unrelated tables make it harder to review and hand off work.

  • Give a research queue a clear place to live
  • Define useful fields up front
  • Keep a workflow easier to scan

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Clay and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Describe the outcome: create the named Airtable table in the specified base with the fields and valid types I provide for Clay research.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real base and field structure example.
