Keep GitHub branch protection aligned with Airtable base changes
Rename your Airtable base or adjust its permissions, and Notis automatically updates your GitHub protected branches to reflect the same apps—no security audit gaps.
Trigger
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Action
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.
Why this helps
You move your Airtable base to a new team or update its permissions in Airtable, but your GitHub branch protection rules still reference the old app list. You discover the mismatch during an audit.
- Branch protection rules stay in sync with your Airtable governance
- Reduces audit friction and compliance risk
- One less manual process to remember each time you reorganize
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When my Airtable base metadata changes, update the app access restrictions on my [branch name] branch to match' or create via the portal.
- 3Select 'Base Metadata Changed' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by renaming your Airtable base and confirming the GitHub branch protection updates.
Questions about this workflow
What exactly gets updated in GitHub?
The list of approved GitHub Apps that can push to your protected branches. Notis reads your Airtable base permissions and mirrors them to GitHub.
Can I update multiple branches at once?
Yes. Tell Notis which branches (main, release, staging) should stay synchronized with your Airtable base.
What if I only want to be notified, not auto-update?
Change your prompt to: 'Notify me when my Airtable base metadata changes' and Notis will send you a summary instead.

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.
