How to Identify Webhook Triggers Originating from Automations vs. End Users

Hello,

I am working with webhooks and would like to know if there is a way to distinguish, within the webhook event payload, whether a column data change was triggered by an automation (such as a monday.com automation or integration) versus a manual change made by an end user.

Specifically:

  • Are there any fields in the webhook payload (such as userId, app, or others) that can reliably indicate the source of the change?

  • Is there any recommended approach or best practice for programmatically identifying the origin of a column change event?

I have reviewed the documentation and sample webhook payloads, but I could not find explicit information on this topic. Any guidance or clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
