Oh man, so cool Thank you as always! I just linked a website inquiry form via webhook to my airtable database. You made it easy!

I love thank you switch for this info!

[@GarethPronovost]

Pretty cool stuff, right? I always forget about this option!

[@chillyspoon]

Thanks for this - I had got myself stuck on the Automation Create Record step with my brain refusing to see the "+" for referencing the data within the webhook request to map to the relevant Airtable field; and your video saved me from myself!!

[@GarethPronovost]

Glad to help! 🙌

[@rachidnocode]

Very helpfull !
Thanks a lot !

[@GarethPronovost]

Glad it helped!

Thank you Gareth: I immediately tried it for an integration bw Airtable and MS Teams and it is easier than expected! However, I see teams webhook can send a lot of technical data about the channel (eg. ID ETC) while I am struggling to get from Teams more human friendly data, such as channel name and the text of the post where the webhook was mentioned. Do you have suggestions to solve it ? Thanks for your time and quality

[@gustgalindo]

keep the great work in 2023!!!

[@GarethPronovost]

Thanks for watching and happy to help! 👊

Thank you Gareth, this is super helpful. Can you use webhooks with websites?

[@GarethPronovost]

Many websites can, yes. For example your website may contain a form that when submitted can trigger an automation.

[@jerryb6728]

I need airtable to keep track of all my incoming and outgoing calls... even my texts ..would webhooks be the best way to handle this?

[@GarethPronovost]

What software do you use to make your calls and texts?

[@jerryb6728]

@@GarethPronovost haven't made a decision yet but thinking about dialpad..are there any software that makes this easier
