I’m heavily caching Airtable data on my own server via the API, and if Airtable could notify my server when a record is updated, created, or destroyed, that would help me invalidate the cached data and re-request it.
Ultimately that would mean less calls from my server to the Airtable API, which I imagine would please Airtable.
Gist is Airtable button → triggers Airtable script → triggers any webhook service (Zapier, Integromat, Pipedream, etc.). Check templates you can copy in the video description. No polling involved.
For much more robust webhook triggers (including custom webhook responses), I would highly recommend using Make's custom webhooks.
There is a small learning curve with Make, which is why I created this basic navigation video to help. In that thread, I also provide the links to a few other Make training resources there as well.
For example, to instantly trigger your Make scenarios from Airtable, check out this thread.
In that same thread, I also provide the link to Make’s free partner training program, which offers approximately 15 hours of free training videos.
