Notis

Build a searchable archive of completed tasks

When a task is completed in Salesforce, Notis automatically creates an archive record in Airtable with the task details, completion date, and any associated contact or account. You build a complete history of follow-ups, calls, and actions without lifting a finger. Later, when you need to reference what happened with a contact or why a deal stalled, you search Airtable instead of hunting through Salesforce task lists or your email.

Trigger

Task Created or Completed

Triggers when a Task is created or when its status changes to Completed in Salesforce. Supports optional filtering by task Status or Subject.

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

Completed tasks vanish into Salesforce's back pages or your cluttered inbox. You can't remember what you promised to follow up on, or you re-do work because you forgot it was already done. Relationship context gets lost.

  • Searchable archive means you find past commitments and follow-ups in seconds
  • Prevent re-work and dropped balls by reviewing completed actions with contacts
  • Build accountability by logging who did what and when in an immutable record
  • Reduce cognitive load; trust the system to remember instead of keeping mental notes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and Airtable to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a task is completed in Salesforce, create an Airtable record with the task subject, contact name, completion date, and any notes.'
  • 3Select 'Task Created or Completed' as your trigger (Notis will filter for completed status).
  • 4Choose where Notis reports runs.
  • 5Test by marking a task as complete in Salesforce; the archive record appears in Airtable moments later.

Questions about this workflow

Will this capture tasks that were completed before I set up this automation?

This automation runs going forward from setup. For historical tasks, ask Notis to backfill completed tasks from the past month or year.

Can I filter by task type or subject?

Yes. Tell Notis 'only archive calls and emails' or 'exclude internal tasks,' and it will filter accordingly.

What if a task doesn't have a related contact?

Notis logs it anyway and marks the contact field as blank or unknown. You still have the archive entry for context.
