send webhook on record update

To send a webhook when a record is updated, you usually need to:

1. Detect the update event

   • In your app/backend, hook into the “before update” or “after update” lifecycle event.
   • In no-code tools/CRMs, use an automation/trigger like “Record updated”.

2. Build the payload

   • Include the record ID and the fields that changed.
   • Example:

     {
       "event": "record.updated",
       "record_id": "123",
       "changes": {
         "status": "active"
       }
     }
     

3. Send an HTTP POST request

   • POST to your webhook URL with JSON body.
   • Example in Node.js:

     import fetch from "node-fetch";
     
     async function sendWebhook(record) {
       await fetch("https://example.com/webhook", {
         method: "POST",
         headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
         body: JSON.stringify({
           event: "record.updated",
           record_id: record.id,
           record
         })
       });
     }
     

4. Call it after the update succeeds

   • Important: send the webhook only after the database update is confirmed.
   • If you need reliability, queue retries in case the webhook endpoint fails.

• Supabase
• Firebase
• Node/Express
• Django
• Laravel
• Bubble / Zapier / Make
