If you only want to know if a row is added
// use get post meta on the repeater field
// this will hold the number of rows - old value
$current_rows = intval(get_post_meta($post_id, 'repeater_field_name', true);
// count the rows submitted
$new_rows = count($_POST['acf']['field_XXXXXXXXX']); // field key of repeater
if ($old_rows != $new_rows) {
// number of rows has changed
}
