Seeking feedback on apps webhooks - help shape the future!

Hey @gregra

Webhooks are great, but in the app sdk, these should be a last resort. If some thing is technically possible without a webhook, the api should provide this functionality.

A webhook comes with the additional cost of

  • An additional language for the backend
  • Hosting and maintaining a server/service
  • Making sure that the server is secure and meets the standards for enterprise data
  • Additional effort while getting our apps approved by the marketplace team

Here’s an example of a use case - Listening to changes in item title and updating in our app UI . I think this should have been a straightforward use case for the monday.listen API instead of having to create a Webhook.

On a side note, it would be great if monday could provide us some way to create serverless API endpoints without having to host our own server :slight_smile:

Hop this helps :slight_smile: . Thank you.
