​
Setup the Make Scenario

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

​
Receiving Triggers

The module ‘Watch Updated Airtable Records’ receives a trigger every time there is a new update in the chosen Table and Column(s) of your Airtable Base. The output of the module will always look like this: 
{
        "id": "0abce289-4d03-46ef-80b5-16744c1798a4",
        "event": "update",
        "recordId": "recRPq7LWatCDsBXm",
        "tableId": "tblKn2Ygplrq5Kmbg",
        "baseId": "appatVcKk6xNFwPej",
        "fieldsById": {
            "fldqg4PbziDbWgLok": {
                "name": "Status", //the column name
                "current": "In progress", //the current column value
                "previous": "Todo" //the previous column value
            }
        },
        "fieldsByName": {
            "Status": {
                "id": "fldqg4PbziDbWgLok", //the column Id
                "current": "In progress", //the current column value
                "previous": "Todo" //the previous column value
            }
        },
        "meta": {
            "source": "client",
            "occurredAt": "2025-07-14T08:46:25.107Z",
            "user": {
                "id": "usrnwwJUfsBR6EMXl",
                "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.

​
Cautious Changes

Keep in mind that the module will trigger whenever there is an update in a specified column. If you change the column’s settings and thereby update multiple records in your table, you will receive individual triggers for each record.
