Keep Airtable references current after OneDrive moves
A move or rename can break the trail to a document. Refresh the Airtable record from OneDrive's old and new item details.
Trigger
Item Moved or Renamed
Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.
Action
Update record
Modifies specified fields of an existing record in an airtable base and table; the base, table, and record must exist.
Why this helps
Tracked document names and locations no longer match OneDrive after files are reorganized.
- Keep tracked names and paths aligned with OneDrive.
- Use old and new item details to identify the record.
- Avoid manual cleanup after reorganizing files.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation through Automations, New Automation, and name it for move and rename updates.
- 3Tell Notis to locate the Airtable record using the old item details and update it with the new details.
- 4Pick the Item Moved or Renamed trigger and choose a run report destination.
- 5Test by renaming or moving one real item and inspect the Airtable record.
