To troubleshoot the issue with the Webflow webhook not working in Airtable, it is important to understand the cause of the problem. The issue is not related to changing the method from GET to POST in the external service provider. The most common cause of the problem lies in the configuration and setup of Webflow's webhook integration with Airtable. Here are some steps to help identify and resolve the issue:

Verify the webhook URL: Ensure that the webhook URL in Webflow matches the correct endpoint URL in Airtable. Make sure there are no typos or missing characters.
Check the webhook settings: Double-check the settings in Webflow to ensure that the correct method (POST) is selected for the webhook. Also, make sure that the correct content type (application/json) is set.
Inspect the payload: Review the data being sent in the webhook request's payload. Ensure that all the required data is included and properly formatted. If any data is missing or formatted incorrectly, it can cause the webhook to fail.
Test the webhook: Use a tool like Postman or cURL to send a test webhook request from Webflow to Airtable. Check the response received from Airtable to identify any error messages or issues.
Verify authentication and permission: If the Airtable base or table requires authentication or specific permissions, make sure that the Webflow webhook has the necessary credentials or tokens to access the data.
Check firewalls and security settings: If you have implemented any firewalls or security measures, ensure that they are not blocking the webhook requests from Webflow to Airtable.
Check logs and error messages: If Airtable provides any logs or error messages related to the webhook requests, review them to find clues about the problem. These logs might indicate whether there are any issues at the receiving end.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with the Webflow webhook not working in Airtable. Remember to test the process thoroughly to make sure the issue has been resolved.
