Webhook behavior expected?

I created a webhook that changes a field in a record, based on if a different field is modified. I chose a webhook because it works instantaneously, and it is such a simple thing I hate using an entire pipeline for one simple thing like this.

Webhook works fine except it does not work in grid edit mode (which is the reason I made the webhook in the first place instead of a dynamic form rule). In grid edit mode, if I change 5 records, the webhook fires correctly for the first record changed, but doesnt fire for the remaining records. I saw the limitations on webhooks were 50/second, so I imagine if I grid edit over 50 that could happen, but does anyone know why i cant even grid edit 2 records and have the webhook fire twice, once for each modification?

    That should work, so I suggest a ticket to support.  A webhook is supposed to trigger at the database level so it should not matter how the edit was done.

      Customer support is saying webhooks do not support multiple record changes, unless you use API_ImportFromCSV utilizing the %repeaton% command.

      ??? So webhooks essentially dont work in grid edit I guess..?? Any webhook experts think otherwise or have a workaround (I can just use a pipeline....just wondering if anyone knows how to make it work with a webhook).

        Confirmed. API_Edit Record cannot be used in a webhook for multi record changes. But Kirk Trachy has a video on how to leverage API_importfromcsv

        Ill try it and report back!
