I have several buttons with URLs that launch webhooks from Make. Everything works great so far, except for that annoying browser tab that opens and I have to close each time. Is there a way to trigger webhooks using a button without it opening the “accepted” tab? Thanks ---

Sometimes that can be helpful because you can have Make deliver a [custom webhook response](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/gateway?pc=scottworld) in the browser window. But for no new tab windows at all, switch from a button to a single-select field and then trigger this automation script: > [@Sending Airtable data to an external webhook (such as Make.com)](https://air.tableforums.com/t/sending-airtable-data-to-an-external-webhook-such-as-make-com/159): > > If you’d like to trigger a webhook in an external service (such as my favorite automation tool [Make.com](https://www.make.com/en?pc=scottworld)), you can easily do this by creating a formula field or a button field that combines the webhook URL + any parameters that you want to send to the webhook. So, for example, if your webhook URL is https://your\_webhook\_address.com, and you want to send it your RecordID, you would create a formula field or a button field with a formula that looks like this: "https://your\_webhook\_address.com?Rec… ---

I’ve been using Elgato’s streamdeck for this purpose, you can set it to do a webhook in the background. Works great! ---

We use the webhook response and send a window.close() script as the body of the response and that closes the window that opens 😉 ---

> [@rob](#): > > send a window.close() script as the body of the response This is a great trick! Although I’ve only been able to get this to work with Chrome. I haven’t been able to get this to work with Apple’s Safari. ---

It concerns me to think that anyone uses Apple’s Safari 😉 - (Written on my Macbook Pro) ---

Lol! I know, right? 😂 Especially since Airtable doesn’t fully support Safari, I have to do most of my Airtable development in Chrome anyways! Although I find a few of Safari’s features so much better than Chrome. I love Safari’s pinned tab features much better than Chrome’s pinned tabs. I also love the integration with Apple’s Messages app. I also like their bookmark & tab syncing a little better than Chrome, too. And the iPad version Safari is so much smoother than Chrome for iPad. ---

> [@ScottWorld](#): > > And the iPad version Safari is so much smoother than Chrome for iPad. I’ve tried Chrome for iPad, and I keep going back to Safari on my iPad. For a while I tried using Chrome on my iPad to run a custom extension in Airtable on my iPad, but I gave up.
