How to create a webhook that informs me when a form has been modified?

SOLVE

Hi @CarltonBanks,

 

Hubspot lets you deploy webhooks on contacts/deals/companies and conversations, but forms are not part of the package, neither their submission nor their edition.

The only way to have that kind of feature is to regularly ping the forms endpoint and monitor any change on your end.

More information about the webhooks and how to deploy them can be found here.

 

Hope this helps !
If it does, please consider marking this answer as a solution 🙂

 

Best,

Trying to tell my application that a form has been updated, and thus should be updated. 
since the form is updated in hubspot, I have no way of knowing it is updated, the static version of the form I have locally will be incorrect.

Hi @CarltonBanks,

 

I don't think you have any choice other than polling the forms endpoint regularly to check for updates, there's no webhook subscription for form changes at the moment.

Maybe people like @Teun or @karstenkoehler have a better plan to do this ?

I am trying to subscribe to form changes so that I known when I should pull for latest information. 
As this is currently being done in a manual manner. 
A webhook would be nice, as this would automatically tell my aplication fetch this. 

getForm has a field called updatedAt, which I need to monitor, but i cannot simple extract that field. 
So I need to ask for an entire form, to extract metacontent such as updatedAt causing tremendeos overhead when it comes to monitor this.

No the goal is to be informed when a form has changed. I was under the impression this could be done through webhooks - such that I could avoid making these API on multiple forms.

Hi @CarltonBanks,

 

The post you mention is about getting notified when a form is submitted, whereas you asked to be notified when a form is edited, which are two completely different problems.

Being notified when a form is edited implies that you poll the forms API regularly to notice changes as I explained in my previous post.
Now if your issue is to be notified when a form is submitted, it is very different but there's still no easy "webhook" for form submissions. If this is what you're trying to do we'll need more context to help you out.

What is it you're trying to do exactly ?
