Run sequence using webhook

​
This feature requires a paid Data Fetcher plan.
Data Fetcher allows you to run a sequence by calling its webhook URL. This means you can automatically run the sequence when an event happens, e.g. when a record is updated or a form gets a new submission.
Add Airtable API Key
To use webhooks, first add your Airtable API key. You will only need to add it once. The key is stored securely and then used by Data Fetcher to update the base using the Airtable REST API.  
On the create sequence screen, under Webhook, click Add API Key. 
Enter your Airtable API key (you can find it here: https://airtable.com/account).
Click Save.
Turn On Sequence Webhook
To run your request by calling the webhook URL, you first need to turn it on:
On the create sequence screen, under Webhook, click Turn on webhook for sequence.
Click the 
 icon next to the webhook URL to copy the webhook URL to your clipboard. The webhook URL will look like this:
https://hook.datafetcher.com/h/sr4X86TTJ747CAPj9gVU9mrKnN33wKqT46CbaaTxnaXqsr
Try visiting the URL in your browser. You should see a success message and the sequence will run immediately.
Call Webhook from Airtable Automation
You can call the webhook and run the sequence from an Airtable automation. This means you can run the sequence when a record is updated, a form is submitted, a record matches a condition or any other Automation trigger.
Create an automation with the trigger you want, e.g. When a record is updated.
For the automation action, select Run a script.
Add the following script, replacing YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL with the one for your sequence:
await fetch(`YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL`);
