Question RE webhooks & buttons

Hi, everyone!

I’m sure this has a simple answer, but as a non-developer - I could use some help!

I currently have a few webhooks for Zapier and Integromat programmed into button fields in my base. Their function is working just fine; however, each time the webhook is sent, I get a success message in a new window. I appreciate the confirmation, but when I am processing hundreds of records in one sitting, this becomes extremely annoying.

Is there any way to get my webhook to run without the success message?

Thanks in advance! :slightly_smiling_face:

Here’s what I’ve got, stripped down to just the basics: let url = "https://hook.integromat.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?recordID="; let table = base.getTable("Invoices"); let view = table.getView("Outsta…
