Can individual feature edits trigger a webhook

BenjaminSperry1 — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 22:33:50 GMT

I am trying to use a small script to make calculations when features are created or edited.

I can see webhooks at the item level for a feature layer collection but not at the individual layer level.

Is it possible to trigger a webhook when a person edits or creates a record/feature?

Example:

A user creates a new point in a points feature layer in Collector. When they submit, a webhook recognizes it and sends a request to an AWS Lambda function that runs a spatial join on the point and a reference layer and then sets field values in the point based on the join.

I am using AGOL not Portal

Thanks

Thanks @Matt Creaney, I have been trying to create a webhook to send notifications when a feature service has been edited. I am on AGOL and not portal. The only step by step webhook creation docymentation I have come across is in this post. Say I have a feature service on AGOL, what is the step by step to create a webhook?

The link I posted has the steps I followed to setup a webhook for our AGOL feature service, I only use it on feature updates at the moment but it triggers on create or delete too.

I have followed the link instructions to the letter but haven't been successful. Are you able to replicate your steps and share? Any help will be appreciated.

This what I did

I set a webbook URL in Azure. Checked it by clicking on it and it worked. See the response below

In Post Man I put the following details in headers;

and the following in body:

I get the error

Any help @ Tyler Bragg, @ Peter Klingman , @Matt Creaney

I'm not familiar with POSTMAN as I worked directly on the admin directory for my feature server. This way the token is generated automatically in the query string.

https://[server].ArcGIS.com/[instance]/ArcGIS/rest/admin/services/[feature_service]/FeatureServer/WebHooks?token=[token]

if you use the URL from the services directory you were in you should be able to fill in the values enclosed in []
