Help! Webhook Creation Error

Adam HILLIKER

Hello!

I'm able to use my api key to retrieve my sheet, and then the /webhook GET request successfully responds with an empty set, but I'm unable to add the hook for some reason. Any help would be appreciated! I've tried adding the non-required fields shown in the docs (createdAt, modifiedAt, subscope) and I've tried setting the enabled flag to false (who knows) each resulting with the same error.

Thanks y'all.

Thank you this is helpful - the POST call I'm making is the equivalent of your CreateWebhook() call.

Interestingly, their documentation states: "Currently, must be an array of size 1 that contains the string value ".", which means "all objects" and "all events"." -- and their example code had:

"events": ["*"]

Both of which are incorrect! I tried your value of

"events": ["*.*"]

and that worked! Thank you!

If the API docs team is reading, please update the docs!

We have a two stage process (I'm afraid this is c# from our api wrapper)

      long inpHook = await smartSrv.CreateWebHook(sheetId);

      Assert.NotEqual(0, inpHook);

      long rtnHook = await smartSrv.EnableWebHook(sheetId, inpHook);

      Assert.NotEqual(0, rtnHook);

Create does this:

          // Webhook specification

          Webhook webhook = new Webhook

          {

            Name = "APD Webhook",

            CallbackUrl = awsCred.SmartAPIString,

            Scope = "sheet",

            ScopeObjectId = sheetId,

            Events = new string[] { "*.*" },

            Version = 1

          };

          // Create Webhook

          Webhook newWebhook = smartsheet.WebhookResources.CreateWebhook(

           webhook

          );

          hookId = (long)newWebhook.Id;

// hookId allows us to pass value to enable.

Enable does this:

          Webhook webhook = new Webhook

          {

            Id = webhookId,

            CallbackUrl = awsCred.SmartAPIString,

            Version = 1,

            Enabled = true

          };

          // Update Webhook

          Webhook updatedWebhook = smartsheet.WebhookResources.UpdateWebhook(webhook);

          hookId = (long)updatedWebhook.Id;

Call back url is help in an AWS secret vault.
