Getting Started with Feature Service Webhooks

ZachBodenner

Hello, 

I've been excited to start working with webhooks to automate email communication. However, I need a little help. In the past, I've built a webhook in Power Automate to send emails when a survey 123 response is submitted, but I want to to use Feature Service Webhooks in 11.1 to track other things like updated/edited features. There are some parameters in the setup that I've been unable to figure out how to enter. For starters, the webhook creator in the server admin wants a hook url. How do I even find that? From what I understand, I create a webhook here, and then go in to power automate a figure out what to do with the payload, right? Is there a list of hook urls that I should have found somewhere?

That's good news Zach!

The blog you have is in invaluable walk-through if you're wanting to extract changes out of the extract changes API. There are some small differences between Online and Enterprise, but that blog for the most part should hold up. Looking at that sample JSON, that "required" section concerns me. I wonder if that is Power Automate's way of saying "if the incoming payload does NOT have those fields, send an error response back", and in turn, the webhook cannot create.

The benefit to supply a JSON schema into the HTTP request is received sets up the next connectors with what comes previously, basically making it easier to build up the flow.

If you want, try this JSON schema. This is specific to Enterprise Feature Service webhooks, without the required parameters.
