In a race against the clock to generate a dynamic template item from a form submission, I'm wondering which of these Zapier actions would be better for speed
- Webflow Form Submission —> Find in Airtable —> Create Airtable Record —> Create Live Item in Webflow ...or...
- Webflow Form Submission —> Find in Airtable — Create Live Item in Webflow —> Create Airtable Record
In other words, is it faster to have two Airtable actions in a row? Does that reduce latency at all? Or is that not how that works?
Upon Webflow Form Submission, the page is redirected to the user's dashboard, where they should see a new template item on their screen.
A little stuck on this one—hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving (for those who celebrated :)
I'd agree with Naitik.
The biggest slow down will typically be when you hop from one service to another. That produces network latency, e.g. it takes time to travel across the network from one server to another.
If, for example, you were using Integromat as your backend and swapped out Airtable for the Integromat Datastore, you'd have a higher likelihood of significant speed improvements.
The actions you are performing would most likely be within the same network - physically close to each other, or travel across a private, high speed backbone with very low latency.
