Restrict GitHub access when Airtable data becomes sensitive
Add a 'billing data' field to your Airtable base, and Notis automatically revokes the junior team's GitHub access until you're ready to trust them with that code—security stays automatic.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Action
Add or update team repository permissions
Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.
Why this helps
You add sensitive fields (customer billing, API keys, salaries) to your Airtable base and realize the entire team still has full GitHub access. You scramble to manually revoke permissions.
- Sensitive data changes trigger automatic security responses
- No scrambling to manually revoke access mid-project
- Supports audit trails showing access was revoked on schedule
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When my Airtable schema includes sensitive fields, reduce my [team name] team's GitHub access to read-only' or use the portal builder.
- 3Select 'Base Schema Changed' as your trigger.
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by marking a field as sensitive in Airtable and confirm the team's GitHub permissions downgrade.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what counts as sensitive?
You tell it in your prompt: 'If the schema adds fields tagged [sensitive], [billing], or [personal], revoke team access.'
Can I re-grant access automatically later?
Yes. Create a companion automation that re-grants access when you mark fields as non-sensitive or remove them.
Does this affect all team members or just specific ones?
Specify in your prompt: 'Revoke access for the intern team' or 'For everyone except senior developers.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Airtable to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Airtable triggers
GitHub actions
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
