Webhook and Grist integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Webhook and Grist and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Core Nodes, and Data & Storage workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Webhook and Grist

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Webhook and Grist nodes

You can find Webhook and Grist in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Webhook and Grist nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Webhook and Grist

A connection establishes a link between Webhook and Grist (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Webhook and Grist integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Webhook and Grist with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Webhook and Grist workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Webhook to Grist or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Grist: On row confirmed, create row in other table

In Grist, when I mark a row as confirmed (via a toggle):

a webhook is set up to notify n8n, and this workflow will create derived records in the destination table.

Design decisions
Confirmation-based
In the source table there is a boolean column "Confirmed" that will trigger the transfer.
This way there is a manual check involved & it's a conscious step to trigger the workflow.
Runs once
If the destination table already contains an entry, we will not re-create/update it (as it might've already been changed manually)

Setup
Create a boolean column Confirmed in source table
Add a webhook in Grist Settings
Add grist API credentials in n8n
Set document ID & source table ID/Name in the 'get existing' node
Set docID, the destination table ID/Name - and the columns & values you want in the Create Row node

Webhook and Grist integration details

integrationWebhook node
Webhook

Webhooks are automatic notifications that apps send when something occurs. They are sent to a certain URL, which is effectively the app's phone number or address, and contain a message or payload. Polling is nearly never quicker than webhooks, and it takes less effort from you.

Use case

Save engineering resources

Reduce time spent on customer integrations, engineer faster POCs, keep your customer-specific functionality separate from product all without having to code.
