Action button POST to a Webhook

Ryan Hildebrandt

We are an agency, and have a number of projects that i want team members to be able to "claim"

So, would be amazing to have an action button that can POST a user's email address, and a field from the record (eg: record ID, project ID etc) to a webhook address we configure

This would really turbocharge what we are able to do with action buttons and Stacker more generally, without forcing us to use Zapier. You should be able to post to a webhook and include a custom value, and or any field(s) from the current record within the query params.

Yes and it has to be a silent post, i.e. a curl command. You can do this by creating a calculated field for the URL in Airtable and then configure the URL as a button in Stacker. But this will give you the webhook response which confused my users. The only clean way to do this at present is to use an action button that sets a field, and then configure an automation in Airtable, which will give you your record or project that you need. I have run out of automations in Airtable, so I fully support the request for this Webhook Action Button.

Jacques van den Berg: Hi, Your solution with using a url button in Stacker to trigger a webhook would be a dream for me, but don't really understand how to make it work, maybe I am configuring the url wrong? I have a button set up in airtable that triggers a zap with a series of webhooks, I need to be able to trigger this from Stacker. It sounds like your solution should work, but think I am doing something wrong with my url as Stacker doesn't recognise it. Nor can I trigger the webhook through this url outside of Stacker.

Any ideas?
