We do have a way of running equations behind the scenes for the API. It’s still in testing, but if you’re interested in testing I’d be happy to elaborate and explain how to achieve this. In the API we even have a way to disregard equations altogether with an added method to run all equations on a table. This is useful if you have thousands of records being saved in rapid succession. This method will make each save happen in a fraction of a second, then you can run the table update to update all equations. The main caveat is Table Rules don’t run using this approach.
In our incoming webhooks, there are now simple options you can enable.
