Update an Airtable record from a scan
When a scan provides new information, ask Notis to update the matching existing record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update record
Updates selected fields on a record.
Why this helps
Keeping a record current can require searching for it and manually entering the latest scan information.
- Apply scan information to an existing record.
- Use a partial update that preserves unspecified fields.
- Keep the automation focused on a clearly identifiable record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Codereadr and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Describe how to identify the existing record and which supplied scan details should update it.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one scan and an existing record you can safely verify.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action clear fields that the prompt does not mention?
No. This action modifies specified fields on an existing record. The separate PUT action is the one described as clearing unspecified fields.
What must be available to update a record?
The base, table, and record must exist. The incoming scan and prompt need to provide enough information to identify the intended record.
