Airtable + Webhooks by Zapier + Formatter by Zapier + Google Sheets

How to Connect Apps to Webhooks Demo #1

The first demo for the How to Connect Apps to Webhooks presentation at ZapConnect 2023. In this Zap, we'll use a webhook to watch an app's URL for new instances, go back to the app for additional information in another webhook, use a Formatter step to create a lookup table to match information coming from the inital app to the information needed for a subsequent app, then use another Formatter step to convert the output of the lookup table into the desired format, and finally adding it to Airtable.

About Formatter by Zapier

Data isn't always in the format you need. Perhaps a date is in International format, but your app needs it in American format. Or maybe you need to Title Case a subject, truncate text for a Tweet, or turn Markdown text into HTML for your blog. Zapier's Formatter tool can help.
