Import Bulk Contacts into Airtable Automatically
Exporting contacts from your old CRM, CSV, or sign-up form? Notis creates all Airtable records at once—no manual entry, no waiting.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create multiple records
Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.
Why this helps
You have a list of 50 contacts in a spreadsheet or from a form, but entering them into Airtable one by one is mind-numbing. You start, get overwhelmed, and the list sits for weeks.
- Zero manual entry: send data, Notis creates records instantly
- Batch efficiency: import 100 contacts in seconds
- Field flexibility: Notis maps incoming data to Airtable fields automatically
- Less procrastination: no dread about manual data entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable to Notis.
- 2Create a contact table in Airtable with the fields you want (name, email, phone, company, etc.).
- 3Tell Notis: 'When you receive a webhook with contact data, create multiple records in my Airtable contacts table, one for each contact.'
- 4Notis will provide a webhook URL for you to use.
- 5Send your contact data to the webhook (via Zapier, a form, CSV upload, or custom script), and records are created automatically.
Questions about this workflow
What data format does the webhook accept?
JSON, CSV, or form data. Notis will parse it and map fields to Airtable. Tell Notis your data structure, and it handles the rest.
Can I de-duplicate contacts?
Yes. Ask Notis to check for existing records (by email or phone) before creating new ones. It will skip duplicates or update existing records instead.
What if contact data is incomplete?
Notis creates records with the data it has. You can mark missing fields and fill them in manually, or ask Notis to skip incomplete records.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Airtable. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Airtable actions
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
