Send request from Airtable to Make.com

I’m a huge Make.com fan. For those people reading this thread who are are unfamiliar with Make, Make provides advanced automations & integrations for Airtable (and every other app on the web that has an API).

To answer your question about how to send a request from Airtable to Make, here is one of the ways that you can instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.

If you’re new to Make, I’ve also assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread.

I also give live demonstrations of how to use Make in many of my Airtable podcast appearances. For example, in this video, I show how to work with Airtable arrays in Make.

Hope this helps!

I wrote a guide on how to send a record ID into a Make webhook with a button click here!

Adam’s method above -- “the Make webhook method” -- will always open up a new browser tab in the user’s browser window.

This is good for when you want to give the person informational status updates within a new browser tab in their browser window.

This “webhook method” is also best if you’ve run out of automations in Airtable, because it bypasses the need to create a triggering automation in Airtable.

I show how to use the Make webhook method on this Airtable podcast episode.

However, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, here is the link to the "typically better way" of instantly triggering a Make automation from Airtable -- “the scripting method”.

The reason that “the scripting method” is “typically better” is because it triggers the Make.com automation silently in the background without opening up any new browser tabs — and you can STILL give informational status updates onscreen in Airtable.

So the advantage here is that your user never leaves Airtable, so it’s “typically” a better user experience.

Hope this helps!
