List Tables in Database
This tool lists all tables within a specified baserow database. it allows users to retrieve information about all tables in a database by using the get /api/database/{database id}/tables/ endpoint. the expected output is an array of table objects containing details such as id, name, order, database id, type, and first row header.
Why this helps
Project information can scatter when contributors are unsure which Baserow table is already relevant.
- Brings table discovery into the conversation where work is discussed.
- Helps reduce duplicate attempts to organize the same project information.
- Makes the available structure easier to review before the discussion moves on.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Baserow to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to list tables in the relevant Baserow database when a project channel message arrives.
- 3Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Post one real project message and inspect the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can the action choose a database based on the message?
The action lists tables in a specified database. The plain-language instruction should identify the intended database context.
Does it read or change table rows?
No. This action retrieves table information, not the records inside tables.
