Should we have a quick look on what kind of webhooks Monday can generate before we end this session? Let's do it. So if you do want to create your own webhooks here, as Frederick told you earlier, you will begin with actually creating the webhook trigger here. Since here's where you get the webhook address and you're going to need this when you actually put it into Monday. Once you've done that, you get to integrate, add new integration. And here we have this webhook integration. So here's the selection we have. It's actually pretty extensive. I don't think since they've added some new stuff here. I don't really have anything in mind right now That is something that we wanted to do, but there wasn't a trigger for it. This were pretty much cover anything. So we have when a new update is posted when any column changes. So let's say this is useful for when we have two registries, maybe one in Monday, maybe one in, let's say Salesforce or some other system. We want to whenever any column is updated, we want to send that over to our Salesforce version of that item. Right. This is useful, but maybe if we want to save data or it's just maybe one column that's of importance when it's updated, we can use when a column changes. -Send a webhook instead. Yeah. -And here's what's and bold in here is changeable variables. So just -like with your automations. -Exactly. This one is also very useful. And this is also kind of the core why we like statuses so much and we kind of sometimes use statuses as more of a button like we saw in the template one, because statuses can also have extra labels that we control to give the user status updates of where the execution is, even though these ones were really fast. So you could barely, barely even had time to see the generating. Some scenarios might take minutes to run so that in that part it's kind of nice to get some on the way updates for the user. So they're following. Okay, so it isn't stuck. -Something is actually happening. -Or one of your speciality is actually Lucas, which is migrating Monday accounts from the US server to the EU server. And then we're not talking a minute, then we're talking many minutes. So then I know you actually have for each step of the process. So I've seen it when Lucas has a big TV on the wall and it just goes like, Yeah, I'm now done with that, done with that. I'm running this and I'm waiting to do this. And yeah. And there we definitely have a lot of chain webhooks because we, we pretty much just want to click a button leave for the day. When we come back tomorrow, we want it to be done right. So there we have along the lines of 10 or 12 scenarios to just chain into each other constantly through the books. I think the biggest one of those is like 600 modules as well. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. So you can you can imagine, guys, it's 600 of those blobs. -Exactly. -So but back to here. So as you can see, there's a lot of things. So when an item name changes and a webhook status triggers column changes updates and as you can see, you have specific for sub items as -well. -Yeah. Good to know. Very few of them will cover both main and sub items. -It's mainly these two. -Yeah. If you have like an an item is created or when a sub item is created, they're different triggers since those are different things, right? Yeah. Don't confuse sub items and items in Monday. Very different things. But in make they're actually handled -the same. -Yeah. Of course. They both have an ID, basically. And that's right. Here. You also have some new stuff. For an example, when an item is deleted, which is also very useful when you if you go back to the example of keeping to registry sync two, you want to you want to have the full chain, right? You also want to be able to delete item if it's deleted in one registry, remove -it from the other. -I actually have a client using that and they have like a crash record, so they basically just if it's deleted, send all the information into Google spreadsheet because they want to retain that information for longer than the 30 days Monday does. -Right? -So this way we can we can even kind of surpass the 30 days deletion in Monday by by using this trigger through webhooks as -an archiving function kind of. -Yeah. That's what they do. It works well because that way they we can also easily pull that data back in if we ever need again. Yeah. That's it for today.
