## When I send {{json data}} to Slack via a webhook, some of the fields are null, but interestingly, not all of them! for example: {“Id”:23,“CreatedAt”:“2022-03-01T02:38:48.735Z”,“UpdatedAt”:“2022-03-01T02:38:48.735Z”,“type”:“BodyLanguage”,“source”:null,“content”:null,“session\_id”:null}

#### Additional info, if you can provide -
#### (a.) What is your webhook trigger set to (on delete/ on insert/ on update)?
#### (b.) How are you inserting your records into table?

#### ghost@discord
#### From UI, there are two ways to insert a record, as shown in attached image.
#### mode-1 (bottom of grid view): Updates db immediately after a cell is fed
#### mode-2 (top right + icon): Updates db on clicking SAVE after all fields are populated
####
#### I tried triggering Slack Webhook from NocoDB over Heroku, worked fine with mode-2.
#### Using mode-1, populating first cell will be considered insert record. And while we are updating subsequent cells, it is being treated as “update record” trigger.

#### Probably that explains why **“type”:“BodyLanguage”** was retrieved properly, and rest were still NULL

#### That makes sense - however the expectation as a user is that both flows result in saving the full record like mode-2

#### Noted. We will check if we can provide an environment variable to configure/ control this behaviour.

#### in mode-1, is this for collaborative updating of data by multiple people in parallel?

#### Collaboration on same project from multiple users is possible, but currently is not real-time. RT collaboration is in pipeline.
