Conditional webhook

[jk-onnet]

When netbox object is changed (e.g. virtual machine name updated), how to know the specific field (name) is change from netbox side to trigger webhook? Will conditional webhook works?

My main goal is to change other system name using NetBox webhook and ansible.

I wish to trigger webhook on name change but not triggered by other attribute like description, custom fields and etc to reduce noise.

The webhook payload contains both "pre" and "post" sections. Your webhook receiver can compare these to decide whether action is required or not.

Thank you, I'm able to do that on webhook receiver. May I know is it possible to compare on webhook sender based on your understanding?

I don't think so. There are conditional webhooks but as far as I know you can only filter on the current value of an object, not the previous.
