Run sequence using webhook URL

A webhook URL allows you to run a sequence automatically when specific events occur, such as when an Airtable record updates or when someone submits a form.

To use webhook URLs, you will first need to authorize Data Fetcher and Airtable.

Note: This feature requires a paid Data Fetcher plan.

Enable the Webhook URL for a Sequence

To make your sequence runnable via webhook URL:

1. On the sequence screen, click the Webhook URL tab.

2. Toggle on Turn on webhook for sequence.

3. Click the clipboard icon (📋) to copy your unique webhook URL, which looks like:

https://hook.datafetcher.com/h/sr4X86TTJ747CAPj9gVU9mrKnN33wKqT46CbaaTxnaXqsr

1. Test your webhook by visiting the URL in your browser - you should see a success message and the sequence will run immediately.

Run sequence for a specific record

To run your sequence for just one particular record:

1. Make sure all requests in your sequence use the same Run on Multiple Records table.

2. Add the record_id parameter to your webhook URL like this:

https://hook.datafetcher.com/h/sr4X86TTJ747CAPj9gVU9mrKnN33wKqT46CbaaTxnaXqsr?record_id=reca19WnKiU2L46cj

1. The record ID used must belong to a record in your specified table

Set up an Airtable automation

You can trigger your sequence from Airtable automations when specific events occur:

1. In Airtable, create a new automation with your desired trigger (e.g., When a record is updated).

2. Add a Run a script action.

3. Paste the following code into the script, replacing YYOUR_WEBHOOK_URL with your sequence's webhook URL:

await fetch(`YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL`);
