Will Changing a Webhook Re-trigger Rows in a Table?

Ah! Another question. 🙂 If I change a webhook that is being used as a source in a table to a different one, will all of the rows automatically run again? I'd like to avoid this if possible.

When you change a webhook source in a table, it doesn't automatically trigger a re-run of existing rows. Webhooks are designed to intake new HTTP post requests, so changing the source only affects future data coming in. To manage updates, you can control the auto-update feature in your table settings. This feature automatically runs all columns when rows are added or edited. You can disable it if you want to prevent automatic updates. If you want to prevent updates for specific columns, you can use the "Only run if..." condition in the column settings. For example, you could set an impossible condition to effectively suppress a column from running. Remember, webhooks are primarily for receiving new data, so changing the source shouldn't affect your existing rows unless you specifically trigger an update.
