Good Morning-
We have an app used primarily for data collection. The data is sent to Zapier via Glide Action Webhook and ultimately lands in an Excel table.
The (classic) Webhook Action holds 600+ variables and was time consuming to map in both Glide and Zapier. With the recent Webhook update, the classic Webhook is nonfunctional and has corrupted the corresponding Zap.
The immediate option is to rebuild a new Webhook to send to a new Zap, but we are not sure if this is a sustainable strategy given the rick exposure to Glide updates and glitchiness is updating the action. Rather than apply the same strategy to the same environment, is there a better way to get these variables to Excel?
Obviously shorter build time would be preferable, we had no issues with the speed of the data transfer, just looking for ideas about alternatives before we commit to building a parallel process the same way again.
An option I’ve been provided is to develop my own webhook, pass it the ROWID, pull the ROWID as a JSON object via API call, and update a database. The kink we’d have to solve is parsing the JSON before dropping it in Excel.
Cheers-
John
