Airtable change monitoring

A full audit log for your Airtable base

Know exactly who changed what, when, and the before/after values — across records and schema. Simplified Webhooks logs every change to a dedicated Airtable base it creates for you, automatically and in real time.

Every change, on the record

Record and schema changes flow through Simplified Webhooks into an append-only log — who changed what, when, and the before/after values.

Record changes

Every row edit, logged

New, updated, and deleted records across every table — each entry captures the table, the record, the fields that changed, and their before/after values. See the record audit log.

Schema changes

Every structure change, logged

Tables and columns created, renamed, retyped, or deleted anywhere in the base — so a field-type change never silently breaks an automation again. See the schema change log.

Complete change history

Every create, update, and delete — for records and for schema — appended to one running log as it happens.

Before & after values

See exactly what a field held before the edit and what it holds now, not just that “something changed”.

Who changed what

Entries carry the collaborator’s name and email when Airtable attributes the change, so accountability is built in.

Exact timestamps

Each entry records when the change occurred, letting you reconstruct a precise timeline of edits.

Stored in your Airtable

We create a dedicated “Monitoring” base in your workspace and write the log there — your data never leaves Airtable.

Choose your scope

Log everything, or narrow to record changes only or schema changes only — per base, switchable anytime.

How it works

1

Connect Airtable

Connect with OAuth or a personal access token — the same connection that powers your webhooks.

2

Enable monitoring

From your dashboard, pick a base and choose what to log: everything, records only, or schema only. We create the Monitoring base for you.

3

Browse the log

Every change lands in your Monitoring base in real time. Filter, group, and report on it with the Airtable views you already know.

What you can use it for

• Answer “who changed this record and when?” without guessing.

• Meet compliance and accountability requirements with a tamper-evident trail.

• Catch accidental deletions and bad bulk edits early.

• Trace a broken automation back to the exact field-type change that caused it.

• Review collaborator activity across a shared base.

• Reconstruct the state of a record before an unwanted edit.

Airtable audit log — FAQ

What is an Airtable audit log?

It is a running history of everything that changes in your base — records created, updated, and deleted, plus tables and columns added, renamed, retyped, or removed. Simplified Webhooks records each change with the user who made it, the timestamp, and the before/after values, so you always have an answer to “who changed this, and when?”.

Where is the audit log stored?

In your own Airtable. When you enable monitoring we create a dedicated “Monitoring” base in the workspace you choose and write every change there. Nothing leaves your Airtable account — you browse, filter, and report on the log with the Airtable tools you already use.

Does it capture both record and schema changes?

Yes. You can log everything (records + schema), or narrow the scope to record changes only or schema changes only per base. See the dedicated pages for an Airtable record audit log and an Airtable schema change log.

Does the log include who made the change?

When Airtable attributes a change to a collaborator, the entry includes their name and email. Each entry also carries the exact time the change occurred so you can reconstruct a timeline.

How far back does the audit log go?

Logging starts the moment you enable monitoring for a base and grows from there — every subsequent change is appended. It is real-time and event-driven, not a periodic export, so nothing in between is missed.

Do I need to write any code?

No. Connect Airtable, pick the base and the scope from your dashboard, and the audit log starts filling itself. There are no scripts, no spreadsheets, and no separate tool to log into.
