Get notified in Slack when new Airtable views are created
When a team member creates a new Airtable view, Notis announces it in Slack right away. Your team discovers new ways to see the data without stumbling across them by accident.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Team members create useful new views in Airtable, but nobody else knows about them until they accidentally find them weeks later, leading to duplicate effort.
- Ensure all team members know about new ways to see shared data
- Reduce duplicate effort from folks recreating views that already exist
- Build a culture of collaboration by highlighting member contributions
- Maximize the value of your Airtable workspace through visibility
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Slack to Notis (one-time).
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new view is created in [Airtable base], post an announcement to [Slack channel].'
- 3Select 'View Created' as the Airtable trigger.
- 4Choose the Slack channel for announcements (often #announcements or #data-updates).
- 5Test by creating a sample view in Airtable and confirming the announcement appears in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Will this alert on personal views or only shared ones?
It will alert on all views created in the base. You can ask Notis to filter for only shared or public views if you prefer.
Can I post to different channels based on the view type?
Yes. Create separate automations for different base sections or view categories, routing each to the most relevant channel.
What information gets included in the announcement?
Notis posts the view name, creator, and a brief description of what it shows. You can customize this in the automation prompt.
