Update and Insert triggered webhooks keywtrokes and ids

Webhooks
1

I have a table that has webhooks on the insert and update of records. The webhook is setup to trigger an api that processes a text field of the record being inserted/updated and transforms the text into IPA (international phonetic alphabet) characters and then updates the record via the nocodb API.

Both these webhooks seem to be triggered 3 times while updating/inserting a record…a couple times with errors because the record id that is passed in the webhook doesn’t seem to exist at the moment that the nocodb api call to update the record is run.

This leads me to believe that the webhooks are being triggered by keystrokes? If that is the case how do people typically handle this type of case? I tried putting a condition on the webhooks stating that the text field that should be transformed not be blank, but when this condition is applied the webhooks never fire even once.

Additional triggers that you see are because of debounce time associated with saving partial data. I would recommend to use a button at the end of insert / update to trigger webhook.

Thank you! That’s what I figured was happening, but just wish there was a separate event for partial vs the actual clicking out of a record.
