Reverse-ETL Post-Sync Validator: Row-Count and Recency Check on Webhook

Fires when your reverse-ETL tool reports a sync finished, then validates that warehouse and destination row counts match and the data is recent — alerting Slack on any mismatch.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionRead actual landed row count from Airtable destinationAirtableAirtable
  • LogicCompare source vs. destination counts and recency
  • OutputPost drift/staleness mismatch alert to SlackSlack

What it does

This workflow runs immediately after a reverse-ETL job claims success, via a completion webhook. It cross-checks the source warehouse rows against what actually landed downstream and verifies the synced rows are recent, catching the case where a job reports success but quietly dropped or skipped records.

When to use it

Use it when a green sync status isn't enough trust — you want proof the destination matches the warehouse after every run, not on a schedule. Ideal for high-stakes syncs into operational tools your team acts on directly.

How it works

  1. 1An incoming webhook from your reverse-ETL tool fires when a sync completes, carrying the model name and run ID.
  2. 2A BigQuery query reads the expected row count and latest timestamp for that model.
  3. 3An Airtable read pulls the actual landed row count for the synced destination.
  4. 4A logic step compares expected vs. actual counts and checks recency tolerance.
  5. 5If counts match and data is fresh, the run ends.
  6. 6On any drift or staleness, a Slack alert reports the run ID, the gap, and the source-vs-destination numbers.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect BigQueryDatasets, queries, schemas.
  3. 3
    Connect AirtableBases, tables, views, automations.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
