Why this helps

Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which table to search?
Describe the search rule in natural language and Notis will learn which table to look in based on context.
Can I get partial results or just summary info?
Yes. Notis can show just the fields you care about, or full record details, depending on what you ask for.
Is this secure for sensitive data?
Lookups work only in your private chat with Notis, not in public groups. Notis respects Airtable field permissions.
