OneDrive Item Updated Trigger
Triggers when an existing file or folder is modified in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management and only detects actual modifications, not new creations.
Action
Update multiple records
Updates multiple existing records in a specified airtable table; these updates are not performed atomically.
Why this helps
Updates to existing files and folders are easy to miss when new items are mixed into the same tracking flow.
- Focus a workflow on modifications to existing items.
- Update several related Airtable records in one action when appropriate.
- Keep an established index current.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for modified item tracking.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify related Airtable records and update them with the available modification details.
- 4Pick the OneDrive Item Updated trigger and select the run report destination.
- 5Test with one real modification and review the Airtable changes.
Questions about this workflow
Does this event include new files?
The event description says it detects actual modifications to existing files or folders and not new creations.
Are multiple record updates atomic?
No. The Update multiple records action does not perform updates atomically, so some records could update while others do not.
