_"However, Airtable does not have any sort of notification mechanism (like webhooks for example) to trigger Netlify builds (at the time of writing this blog post). The only option that's left is to schedule periodic builds." _
You could trigger a netlify build using an automation in Airtable that triggers the netlify build webhook. Airtable automation triggers include:-
At a scheduled time automation trigger
When a record matches conditions trigger
When record is created trigger
When record enters a view trigger
When record is updated trigger
You are then able to run an action from any of these triggers including running code. In the code you would be able to call the build webhook and pass any parameters needed from the airtable content / records.
Other actions include:-
Find records automation action
Outlook automation actions
Create post action for Twitter
JIRA create issue action for automations
Create post action for Facebook Pages
Google Workspace actions Run a script Action
Send an email Action
Send a Slack message Action
Send MS Teams message Action
Update record Action
Create record Action
MS Teams admin approval
