When do webhooks fire when editing Paper docs?
Hi,
Could anyone provide more detail on the webhook policy when editing an 'auto-saving' document like Paper? The document appears to save automatically according to changes made and some idle time...

Dropbox doesn't send webhook notifications for changes to Paper documents, but we'll consider it a feature request. I can't promise a timeline for if/when that might get added though.

Ah, that's a real shame - that's a deal breaker for my use case.
I did find through testing that changing a .paper file locally in a text editor did cause a notification to fire consistently. Also, making changes in the Dropbox desktop app also triggered notifications, but seemingly inconsistently.
I'd really like to use Paper if I could - is there somewhere we can track the status of feature requests?

This forum thread serves as the reference for the feature request. I'll follow up here if/when I have any news on this.
