airtable-blocks

Custom Airtable blocks (React) that connect a base to automation tools such as n8n, Make or Zapier.

airtable-webhook-leads

Sends the records of a table to a webhook, one request per record, so an automation can take over from there: enrich a lead, notify a channel, write to a CRM.

• Pick the table and enter the webhook URL in the block's own settings. Nothing is hardcoded, so one build serves any base and any workflow.
• Send records to webhook POSTs each record as flat JSON and reports how many were sent and how many failed.
• Single-select and multiple-select values are sent as plain names, empty cells as empty strings.

Example request body:

{
  "baseId": "appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "tableId": "tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "recordId": "recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "Name": "Ada Lovelace",
  "Status": "New",
  "Tags": ["inbound", "dach"]
}

Install

Requires Node 18+ and the Airtable Blocks CLI (npm i -g @airtable/blocks-cli).

1. In your base, add a custom extension (Extensions → Add an extension → Build a custom extension) and note its base and block IDs.

2. Save your API key with block set-api-key, then create airtable-webhook-leads/.block/remote.json:

   { "blockId": "blkXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "baseId": "appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" }

3. Run it:

   cd airtable-webhook-leads
   npm install
   npm run lint
   block run        # develop against your base
   block release    # publish to your base

The webhook URL and table are stored in the block's configuration inside Airtable, not in this repository.

Notes

• The block runs in the browser, so the receiving webhook has to allow cross-origin POST requests (n8n webhook nodes do by default).
• Airtable now calls blocks extensions; this project uses the Blocks SDK 1.8 API, which Airtable still supports for existing blocks.
