Webhooks
Hi there,
I setup a basic OAuth2 client app against Dropbox, added features like file upload, download, and also wired up the webhook. I am getting the POST notification event every-time a new file or folder is being created and also anytime the user is making changes in the file's content, updating the existing file.
I was wondering if there is a way for me (as a OAuth2 client developer) to have more granular control over the events, can I just subscribe to say new file or folder creation events and not the file update ones. As I don't envision using file update events as of now, but the way things are, I could not find a way to see the type of event and ignore it. As all events be it file update or new file/ folder addition extra, I am getting the same JSON telling me about the account id which got a change.
Simply put, can I subscribe to specific events via webhooks rather all in one go?
Thanks! 🙂
Hi!
As of today, there is no way to subscribe to specific events via webhooks. That said, we can go ahead and submit this as a feature request, keep in mind we can't promise if and when this would be implemented.
