Webhooks for Records

Webhooks for records would be really useful.

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.

Are webhooks on the roadmap at all?

I would like to second this request. Webhooks notifications when a record is updated would be HUGE.

This is a must for me! The only thing letting airtable down

Not just a must. An absolute necessity for any serious integration. Zapier is far too limited.

The lack of webhooks is currently a killer for the future use of Airtable.

+1 for Webhooks. We use Airtable like a CMS in certain ways and it’d be great to have team members’ changes be known in the rest of our system.

Yes, constantly polling the API for changes isn’t my favorite

+1 for webhooks. The API is great, but there are some applications that are crippled without this feature. I’m really hoping this will be added.

+1 for webhooks. Even just the ability to run a GET when new data is added so I can trigger a CI build.
