Test Airtable webhooks
Airtable sends webhook notifications when records, fields, or tables change in a base; the change payloads are then fetched through the API. Capture them on a free webhooks.cc endpoint to see exactly what Airtable sends, then replay deliveries or forward them to your local handler.

How to test Airtable webhooks
- 1
Create a webhook endpoint
Sign in free with GitHub, Google, or email to create a persistent endpoint — or grab an instant guest URL at webhooks.cc without an account.
- 2
Point Airtable at your URL
Paste the endpoint URL into Airtable: Set via the Webhooks API (POST /v0/bases/{baseId}/webhooks).
- 3
Inspect what arrives
Each delivery appears live in the dashboard with method, headers, body, query parameters, and source IP.
- 4
Forward to localhost or assert in CI
Run whk tunnel <port> to forward webhooks to a local server, or use the TypeScript SDK to wait for and assert on deliveries in tests.
Airtable webhook authentication
| Auth header | x-airtable-content-mac |
|---|---|
| Algorithm | HMAC-SHA256 |
| Verification in webhooks.cc | Capture deliveries to inspect raw signature material |
The notification is only a ping with the base and webhook IDs; read the changes from the list webhook payloads endpoint. The MAC is hmac-sha256=<hex>, keyed with the base64-decoded macSecret.
