Hey! Thank you for the detailed reply!
This ‘teacher-student’ thing is only an over-simplified abstraction of my current project. Would you kindly refer to this post to get a quick idea of what I’m building?
Now I’m getting somewhere. I combined NetBox’s Webhook and n8n, as @ dmitry suggested. Now the data I need for cross-referencing will be populated automatically whenever I made a change on NetBox side, or I can just trigger the n8n automation manually.
The hitch 2.0 is, as you can see in the workflow chart in my previous post (image). The way I ‘update’ my table, is by first deleting all the records, then re-populate the whole table, even if I changed merely one record on NetBox.
I know n8n has a built-in ‘Grist Update’ node, but this node mandates a Row ID. The problem is, because the body of the webhook sent by NetBox only contains the asset’s internal ID (plus other info ofc), there is no way to ascertain the ID of the row that I want to update.
