Notify Your Team on Airtable Changes
When your Airtable schema changes, your team gets an email instantly—no manual sync needed.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Schema changes in shared Airtables often go unnoticed, causing team members to use outdated fields or miss new processes.
- Team stays in sync without status meetings
- Reduce confusion over new or removed fields
- Audit trail of who changed what when
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When Airtable schema changes, send an email to the team.'
- 3Notis will include the change details in the email (which fields/tables changed).
- 4Specify your team's email or a shared group address.
- 5Test by adding a new field to your Airtable and verify the email arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Will I get spammed with emails for every tiny change?
Not with Notis. You can set a cooldown (e.g., 'bundle changes in one email per hour') to avoid notification fatigue.
Can I exclude certain bases or tables?
Yes. Tell Notis which specific base or table to monitor.
What if I'm the only person who needs to know?
You can send it to just yourself, or route different bases to different inboxes.
