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

> 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: 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](http://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.

Hi there,
Thank you for your suggestion.
This won’t work for us as we don’t work like this. We have 10 or sometimes 20 views in a table, and our filter criteria are always changing. It is impossible to program a webhook, which is triggered only by a specifc view. What we want is to trigger the Webhook regardless, which view we have chosen.
Today one of our automations hung up and ended in an eternal circle. Then what happened is that all webhooks for that database table were triggered.
We had 2000 executions triggered, multiplied by ca. 6 webhooks, triggering 12,000 automations in [Make.com](http://Make.com). In [Make.com](http://Make.com) we have filters installed and if the action is not what the scenario was designed for, the execution will stop. I just received an invoice for processing all these 12,000 triggered webhooks only for [Make.com](http://Make.com) having to process 12’000 invalid actions. Its very very costly your missing column filter.
I am really not looking for a workaround. I am looking for a proper solution.
Is it not possible to specify what column value needs to be set in order to trigger the webhook? This is the proper solution we are looking for. If you could check this.
The use case for Baserow is mainly to work in tandem with Automation providers such as [Make.com](http://Make.com) and N8N in my understanding. Triggering webhooks should be done only when precise criteria are met.

Thanks for clarifying this. I’ll re-discuss this request with the team. 🙂

Hey @artoflogic, I’ve discussed your feedback with the team, and we believe your case will be covered by the upcoming Automation module we’re currently developing. The product is in alpha phase, and we expect to release the first version in 2-3 months (possibly earlier). At that point, you’ll be able to set up automations such as “when a row is updated and meets specific conditions, make an HTTP request.” 🙂

Hello @olgatrykush That sounds great and will make Baserow even more useful. I look forward to your new Automation module. Thank you!
