Automatically Track New Airtable Views in Your Notion Database
When team members create new views in Airtable, Notis automatically logs them in your Notion views directory. No manual tracking, no wondering what each view is for.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Views pile up in Airtable and you lose sight of what each one does. You ask 'What's the difference between View A and View B?' or you create duplicate views because you didn't know one already existed. Your team can't tell you which view is authoritative.
- Instant visibility into all new views without manual scanning or asking team members
- Single searchable Notion database of every view and its purpose, reducing duplication and confusion
- Helps new team members understand your Airtable structure faster
- Automatic updates keep your view inventory current without effort
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Notion to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a new view is created in Airtable, add a database entry in Notion with the view name, base name, and creation date'.
- 3Select 'View Created' as the trigger.
- 4Point to the Notion database where view records should be added and choose a notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a new view in Airtable and confirm it appears as a row in your Notion database within moments.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis capture the view purpose or description when it's created?
Airtable's view creation event includes the view name and type. If you want to capture purpose, you can ask team members to include it in the view name (e.g., 'Sales Pipeline - Client Onboarding') or manually add context once before the row auto-syncs.
What if my Notion database doesn't have all the fields I need?
Notis will work with the fields in your database and fill in what it can. You can manually add more structured fields (like 'Purpose' or 'Owner') and update your automation prompt to include them.
Does this track view changes or just new views?
This specifically triggers on new views. If you also want to track when existing views are renamed or reconfigured, set up a separate automation for 'View Metadata Changed'.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Airtable to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Airtable triggers
Notion actions
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
