Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of managing customer records by automating the process of creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting records in Airtable through webhooks. It eliminates manual data entry and ensures that customer information is always up-to-date and accessible.

Workflow Steps

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts when a webhook is triggered at the path customers or customers/:id.
2. Create Customer Record: If a POST request is received, the workflow creates a new customer record in Airtable with the provided data (e.g., email, phone, address).
3. Get All Customers: A GET request retrieves all customer records from Airtable, responding with the complete list.
4. Get Single Customer: A GET request with an ID retrieves a specific customer record based on the provided customer ID.
5. Update Customer Record: A PUT request updates an existing customer record in Airtable with new data.
6. Delete Customer Record: A DELETE request removes a customer record from Airtable using the specified ID.
7. Respond to Webhooks: Each step concludes by responding to the webhook with the relevant data, ensuring the user receives immediate feedback on their request.
