​
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",
        "fieldsById": {
            "fld...": {
                "name": "..", //the column name
                "current": "..",
                "previous": null
            },
            "fldp...": {
                "name": "...", //the column name
                "current": "...",
                "previous": null
            }
        },
        "fieldsByName": {
            "Status": {
                "id": "fld...", //the column Id
                "current": "...",
                "previous": null
            },
            "Name": {
                "id": "fldp...", //the column Id
                "current": "...",
                "previous": null
            }
        },
        "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 trigger you will always find 
{
"event":"create",
"recordId":"",
"tableId":"",
"baseId":"",
"fieldsById":{},
"fieldsByName":{},
"meta":{}
}
This helps to know what has happened and where in your Airtable Base. Additional we provide you with two objects (fieldsById and fieldByName) which contain the same information.
We highly suggest to use the fieldsById variables in your scenario as the variables will continue to work even if you rename a column in Airtable.
