Send Email

Why this helps

Role changes or permission updates often go unnoticed, causing confusion over who has access to what data.

  • Know immediately when permissions change
  • Audit trail for security and compliance
  • Reduce onboarding and offboarding gaps

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and Gmail to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When an Airtable user profile changes, send an email to team leads.'
  • 3Specify which email address(es) receive the alerts.
  • 4Notis includes what changed (role, permissions, status) in the email.
  • 5Test by updating a user profile and verify the alert arrives.

Questions about this workflow

What counts as a 'profile change'?

Role, department, permissions, email, phone, or any other profile field in Airtable.

Can I ignore changes for specific people?

Yes. Exclude bots, test users, or specific accounts from triggering alerts.

Is this useful for security?

Absolutely. It's a simple audit trail for who has access and when permissions changed.
