Can't update record using webhook from Make

[ZeeTheGreat]

Hello everyone,

I'm working with an automation system on Make.com, where I generate images using an API and then send them to Airtable. However, I’m currently facing an issue:

When the generated image is returned via a webhook from Make, I’m unable to insert it into a specific field of a table in Airtable.

Here’s what I’ve done so far and the problem I’m encountering:

1. I THINK I created an Airtable record with a Record ID (see screenshots).
   
2. When I attempt to update this record in Airtable, I receive an error message stating, “Received invalid inputs.” At this point, the Record ID appears to be missing
   part 1part 2(see screenshots).

I’m not sure how to retain the Record ID or even confirm whether a record was successfully created (see screenshots).

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can offer guidance on resolving this?

Thank you for your help!

You can only send very limited types of webhooks to Airtable.

Instead of triggering an Airtable automation, you will simply want to complete your entire automation using Make’s Airtable automations & integrations.

You can use the Airtable search records module, and then the Airtable upsert module to finish your Make scenario.

If you’re new to Make, I’ve assembled a ton of Make training resources in this thread. I also give live demonstrations of how to use Make in many of my Airtable podcast appearances.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire an expert Airtable & Make consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

Hmm, could you provide a screenshot of the results of the 'Find records' action?  Seems like that isn't finding anything actually

If I were you I'd try making the automation upload the file into the Log record instead, and then link the Log record to the API Task record instead.  That way you'll always have the image in your base even if the API Task can't be found

Use Make itself to create a new record in Airtable and insert the attachments. Airtable webhooks leaves a lot to be desired.
