Webhook and Grist integration

n8n lets you integrate Webhook with Grist to build powerful workflows. Design automation that extracts, transforms and loads data between your apps and services. You can choose from thousands of ready-made apps or use our universal HTTP connector to sync apps not yet in our library.

Integrate Webhook and Grist

Build your own Webhook and Grist integration

Create custom Webhook and Grist workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

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

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

Over 3000 companies switch to n8n every single week

Webhook and Grist integration details

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.
