AGOL Webhooks — Upon feature creation, use webhook to copy feature to different feature layer

Bud — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 12:31:59 GMT

Can an AGOL webhook be used for the following?

When feature is created, automatically copy feature to different feature layer

Use Case: When a point feature is created via a Survey123 form in a feature layer (FL1 - a permanent record of unedited survey results), I want to automatically copy the feature to a different feature layer (FL2). A user will then take the point in FL2 and edit/scrub it/change the status for the purpose of displaying it on a public web map.

All data is hosted.

No, Webhooks offer a notification service for an event, eg; when a point is created a key user will get a notification email. That is all.

I did this with Make years ago and it worked well. For Power Automate I think you just combine Get data from feature layer with Create a record in a feature layer and you're set. You can also try the Survey123 connector with Get surveys if you're working with survey submissions.

@DavidSolari Here’s a video showing how to send an email when a Survey123 feature is created, using a web hook and Power Automate.

Like you say, I imagine something similar could be done to create a feature in a different feature layer.
