Coalescing Rapid Updates (coalesceUpdates)

When a user types in Airtable or an automation makes multiple rapid updates to the same record within a few seconds, it can trigger multiple separate webhooks. To prevent redundant executions and save tasks in Zapier, you can enable Coalescing (or pass "coalesceUpdates": true via the API). When enabled:

Rapid updates to the same record are grouped together.
The webhook waits briefly to collect all changes.
A single, consolidated webhook payload is sent containing all updated fields.
