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?

This looks like a good solution for our needs. Trying this out now. Thanks Dylan!

Hey Dylan - I’m (finally) about to set this up, but think I may have a few questions. Is it best to contact you here, or do you have another preference?

133 likes in about 130 more likes than I get on my facebook profile pic updates (if my mom is on that day). I think that makes this a feature request? There are no built in zaps that do this. Of course lots of people post that they want decent forms, but you make the ones you guys make so I guess this prop not even on the radar.

+1 for webhooks–makes things so much more efficient.

This is great but is taking up so many resources to call integromat every single minute (that counts as an operation, even if nothing was done).

Even every 5 minutes is a lot.

It’s clear a lot of people want webhooks but for whatever reason, it doesn’t look like it’s coming to Airtable. It could just be insanely difficult to build & only helpful to a vast minority of airtable users like us.

It is a massive shame though I agree, Airtable could have served as a simple database for small startups & small web applications but without webhooks, it’s just so behind. No real time updates.

If Airtable sent out a web hook whenever a record was added or changed, this would be HUGE!
