Permission Change Photos to Telegram
Permission changes affect who can access your data. Notis captures a photo of permission updates and posts to Telegram so everyone sees who has access.
Trigger
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Action
Send Photo
Send photos to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Base permissions shift, but team members don't notice. New collaborators don't realize their access level changed, or sensitive data gets exposed without announcement. Visual permission photos prevent miscommunication.
- Share permission changes visually so your team understands exactly who has access to what
- Create transparency around data access and security decisions
- Build an audit trail of permission changes with visual evidence
- Prevent confusion about access levels by showing permissions clearly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create: 'When my Airtable base permissions change, take a photo of the updated permissions and send it to my team Telegram channel.'
- 3Choose a team or admin Telegram channel.
- 4Select the Airtable 'Base Metadata Changed' trigger.
- 5Test by changing base permissions and verifying the photo appears in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
What does the permission photo show?
Notis captures the current permission state showing which users or groups have access and their permission level (editor, viewer, etc.).
Does it show who made the change?
The photo shows the resulting permissions. The Telegram alert can include metadata about when the change occurred.
Can I restrict this to sensitive changes only?
Yes. Specify in your prompt: 'Only alert if permissions become more open or if viewers are promoted to editors.' Notis applies your filters.
