The other thing to consider there as well is quantity. For my purposes this is doing like 1-5 at a time at most a few times an hour let's say. If you were pulling in hundreds of new rows a day I dont know how well the webhook handles that sort of load. Okta certainly doesn't on their part when the tables are turned.

So something like zapier is probably suitable for this too, BUT depending on the quantity of records that could be either basically free or hilariously expensive

One piece I did is a middleware sort of approach, I have an Okta Workflow checking every 5 minutes for an update to a CRM source (a Google Sheet right now cause I'm not touching salesforce), and then it sends a webhook off to Clay. The webhook is the source for Clay, and Okta is basically a connector between the two.

Hey Leo, I'm an IT person too, mostly in cloud/systems admin. It's been a very fun automation tool.

Check out Google Workspace Flows if you're in a workspace account, could be perfect for it

I've been having a lot of fun with custom API webhooks in my tables for sure, it's very useful

For sure, I work primarily as an IT partner with our GTM team so I work a lot with the team members and managers to try to dial in the tools and workflows to be helpful. We have a term we try to avoid called "IT Cool" where we can make something that is awesome to the people who make things, but kind of useless or way too involved for the people intended to use the tthings.

or who knows, try to parlay that into a leadership position in GTM/RevOps/Whatever

That's sort of how I'm feeling. I always am sort of wary of going too focused into a field (I'm a Systems Admin now so I am a many-hats kind of guy) but I dont think I would be unable to go back to sysadmin work if I pursued a more focused GTM role
