Notis

Review possible duplicate Airtable records

Find records that look alike and review them before deciding whether any cleanup is needed.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

List records

Lists records from a table.

Why this helps

Duplicate entries create uncertainty about which record the team should trust.

  • Surface likely duplicate candidates for human review.
  • Use existing record details as evidence.
  • Avoid automatic deletion based on a guess.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Cody and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the chosen records and have Cody identify likely duplicates using only available fields, returning candidate pairs for review.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with known similar and distinct records.

Questions about this workflow

Will this delete duplicate records?

No. It identifies candidates for review and does not delete records.

What if the table lacks a unique identifier?

Use available fields to suggest candidates, but a person should verify which records refer to the same item.
