Create an Airtable record from an incoming webhook
Some of your Drive workflows live in scripts and custom tools, not in Drive's own events. Send Notis a webhook from any of them and it creates the Airtable record for you, so even bespoke pipelines feed your single tracker.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Custom scripts and tools around Drive have no clean way to log their output into Airtable without you copying it over.
- Any tool that can send HTTP can now write to Airtable
- Custom Drive pipelines feed the same central tracker
- No copy-paste bridge between your scripts and Airtable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Open Automations in the portal and click New Automation.
- 3Write the prompt: when a webhook arrives, create a record in my Airtable table using the data sent.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook as the trigger and set the run-report channel.
- 5Send a test request to the webhook and confirm the record appears in Airtable.
Questions about this workflow
What can send the webhook?
Any tool or script that can make an HTTP request, including your own backend or a Drive-adjacent automation.
Do I configure the payload fields?
No. You describe in plain language what the record should contain and Notis interprets the incoming data.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Airtable. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Airtable actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create base
Creates a new airtable base with specified tables and fields within a workspace; ensure field options are valid for their type.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Create Comment
Creates a new comment on a specific record within an airtable base and table.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Create Field
Creates a new field within a specified table in an airtable base.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Create multiple records
Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Create table
Creates a new table within a specified existing airtable base, allowing definition of its name, description, and field structure.
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Delete Comment
Deletes an existing comment from a specified record in an airtable table.
Delete multiple records
Deletes up to 10 specified records from a table within an airtable base.
