I haven’t used the Incoming Webhooks tool before, and I’m currently having trouble setting it up. I’m unable to create my app within the tool. However, I’m wondering if it’s possible to create multiple records with a single webhook request.
I use Make extensively, and the slowest part of my automations is creating or updating records via the API. In particular, scenarios that involve creating a large number of records are painfully slow due to poor write speeds. If I could send all the records I need to create in a single webhook request, it would be much faster.
Do you have any insights on whether this is possible, and if so, how I could achieve it?
This is indeed possible, however, its a relatively new feature and we’re not currently offering support for it. If you experience any issues with it, you’d be better off sticking with Make.com for this automation.
We also have ‘multi-step’ webhooks where you can insert multiple different actions with the same call. An example would be, if you have a payload with an invoice and invoice line items you’d be able to insert the invoice then each line item and connect it to the invoice. This too can be enabled by our support team for accounts on Premium/Elite and higher.
Here’s a screenshot example of how it looks with a webhook that ran 5 different steps:
My goal is to speed up make workflows that create a lot of records. I have a lot of scenarios that iterate over given records and create new ones. Creating 15-30 records like this takes ages…
So I would build a multi value web hook in make and then just check that box in the catcher?
@andreas - We use Make for several of our projects both internal and client projects. We have several make scenarios created that can either work off of each other or we create routers within the scenario to complete several tasks.
We are happy to provide a free 30 minute consultation to review your project and needs and hopefully point you in the right direction.
