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

On shared Airtables, new views can indicate workflow changes or experiments; missing these leads to fragmented processes.

  • Stay aware of new workflows on shared bases
  • Catch experimental or redundant views early
  • Maintain consistency across your Airtable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and Gmail to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new view is created in Airtable, send me an email.'
  • 3Specify which base(s) to monitor (or all of them).
  • 4Notis includes the view name and creator in the email.
  • 5Test by creating a new view and verify the alert arrives.

Questions about this workflow

What if my team creates views constantly?

You can set a filter to only alert on views matching certain names or criteria.

Can I get the alert only for certain people?

Yes. Specify which team members' view creations trigger the email.

Will I see the view's contents in the email?

The email includes the view name, creator, and timestamp. You can click through to Airtable to see the data.
