Setup the Make Scenario

Create a new scenario, search for ‘Simplified Webhooks’ and choose the Watch New Airtable Records module. If you have not setup a module before, visit the quickstart to go through every step.

Receiving Triggers

The module Watch New Airtable Records receives a trigger every time there is a new record in the chosen Table of your Airtable Base. The output of the module will always look like this:
{
        "id": "6aa496db-5006-4bf7-be4b-06e50e65ad96",
        "event": "create",
        "recordId": "rec4yurm8f16BwMFj",
        "tableId": "tblKn2Ygplrq5Kmbg",
        "baseId": "appatVcKk6xNFwPej",
        "fields": {
            "fld...": {
                "name": "..", //the column name
                "current": ".."
            },
            "fldp...": {
                "name": "...", //the column name
                "current": "..."
            }
        },
        "meta": {
            "source": "client",
            "occurredAt": "2025-07-14T08:45:06.405Z",
            "user": {
                "id": "usr...",
                "name": "Test User",
                "email": "test.user@gmail.com"
            }
        }
    }

Key components

In every create-trigger you will always find
{
"event":"create",
"recordId":"",
"tableId":"",
"baseId":"",
"fields":{},
"meta":{}
}
This helps to know what has happened and where in your Airtable Base.
