Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow infer new values for a renamed column?
No. Notis can only use data returned by the apps or supplied in your instruction. Review the available table data if a schema change affects its meaning.
Does Canva autofill support chart data?
Canva describes chart data support as experimental. Use a template compatible with the data you provide.
