Webhook only triggered when a Column is changed to a Specified Value

I am referring to the point raised here a while ago about specifying more granular conditions WHEN a webhook will be triggered.

Filters on webhooks

Hi @bram and @dev-rd I have one more question / suggestion to this. Could you in the future even add a text input field so that we could manually define what criteria that column needs to fulfill to trigger the webhook? Something like this: [1] I can work around this for the moment but this would actually enhance it further. Just a suggestion for your product roadmap. Cheers

We are looking to trigger the webhook only if e.g., the “Action” Field/Column is changed to “Do Action 1”. Currently the webhook is triggered whatever value we set in the “Action” Field/Column. It would be great to specify to what value a column needs to be changed to trigger the webhook.

We have a column Action where we can trigger various actions. The problem now is that every action triggers every webhook, which leads to unnecessary resource consumption, - on the side of Baserow but also on the receiving end of the webhook - Make.com or N8N. We would like to avoid this and keep the resource consumption to a minimum.

There is just one argument - an input field or dropdown field - missing in the above criteria so that we could specify in which cases the webhook will be triggered. We would appreciate it if this could be addressed.

Hey @artoflogic, thank you for sharing a detailed description. I’ll discuss this request with the team

Hi @artoflogic, I’ve discussed this request with the team, and there’s actually a workaround. If you create a view with filters that match your conditions and then use the Rows enter view trigger, you should get the setup you need.

For example, in the view filtering options, you can specify that Name equals X. When this condition is met and the filter is applied, a webhook will be triggered.

Please note, this is an Advanced/Enterprise feature.
