Hiya,

Conceptually, I need to be able to have a webhook that fires when a company property changes. So, I can update values in a separate database.

I can see using workflows it’s possible to fire a webhook after a property has changed within a number of days. Can a webhook be triggered immediately after a company property is edited? I’ve been testing with edits to the city property. I’ve tried setting the value to 0 days for the “update in the last” trigger. I can only seem to fire a webhook to a test url when it’s set to 1 day and I manually fire the request using the test criteria button.

Many thanks

Hey @LWilliamson

Is the workflow portion of this necessary?

Webhooks fire pretty quickly after the subscribed event has occured.

[@Mike\_Eastwood](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/9259) , what do you think?

Hi @LWilliamson

@dennisedson is right - you probably don’t need the Workflow too.

You can set up an App, with a Webhook, that fires when a property is changed (which includes new objects e.g. a Contact).

The Webhook will deliver a small packet of JSON, to your endpoint, with the appropriate IDs and changes.

Here’s more info: [Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/webhooks)

Have fun
