A change log for your Airtable schema
Track every table and field that is created, renamed, retyped, or deleted — with exact timestamps. Simplified Webhooks logs every structure change to a dedicated Airtable base, so a quiet schema edit never breaks an automation again.

Every structure change, on the record
Tables and fields created, renamed, retyped, or deleted flow through Simplified Webhooks into an append-only log — with exact timestamps.
Table changes
Tables created, renamed, and deleted anywhere in the base — each logged as it happens.
Field changes
Columns added, renamed, retyped, or removed — including the before/after type, so retypes never slip by.
Catch breaking changes
A field switched from text to number can break an automation silently. Now you see exactly which change did it.
Exact timestamps
Each entry records when the structure change occurred, so you can line it up against a broken sync.
Full structure history
A running timeline of how your base’s schema evolved — appended automatically over time.
Stored in your Airtable
We create a dedicated “Monitoring” base in your workspace and write the log there — your data never leaves Airtable.
How it works
Connect Airtable
Connect with OAuth or a personal access token — the same connection that powers your webhooks.
Enable schema monitoring
From your dashboard, pick a base and set the scope to “Schema changes only.” We create the Monitoring base for you.
Browse the change log
Every table and field change lands in your Monitoring base in real time. Filter and group it with the Airtable views you already know.
What you can use it for
• Trace a broken automation back to the exact field-type change.
• Get notified when a column your integration depends on is renamed or deleted.
• Keep a record of how a base’s structure evolved over time.
• Audit who is restructuring a shared base and when.
• Detect unexpected table deletions before they cause data loss.
• Document schema changes for compliance and handover.
Airtable schema change log — FAQ
What is an Airtable schema change log?
A running history of every structural change to your base — tables created, renamed, or deleted, and columns added, renamed, retyped, or removed. Each entry captures what changed, the before/after definition, and when it happened.
Why does tracking schema changes matter?
Most broken Airtable automations trace back to a quiet structure change — a field renamed, a type switched from text to number, a column deleted. A schema change log shows you exactly which change landed and when, so you can fix the downstream automation instead of guessing.
What schema events are captured?
Table create, update (rename), and delete; and column create, update (rename or retype), and delete — anywhere in the base. New tables and fields are picked up automatically; there is nothing to configure per table.
Where is the log stored?
In your own Airtable. When you enable monitoring we create a dedicated “Monitoring” base in the workspace you choose and append every schema change there. Your data never leaves Airtable.
Can I track record changes too?
Yes — choose a wider scope. Schema changes only is one option; you can also log record changes only or everything (records + schema). See the Airtable record audit log or the full Airtable audit log.
