Do webhooks fire once per bulk update

Question

When we update 200 rows via the API in one call, do we get a single webhook event or 200 separate ones?

Demo Team · Accepted Answer

One event per row today, so a 200-row update sends 200 webhook deliveries. That is noisy for large batches, and a single batched event is on our list, just not shipped yet.

We handle this by debouncing on our end: buffer the incoming events for a couple seconds and process them as one batch.

We hit this too, ended up debouncing on our end same as described.

Batched events would be a big improvement for anyone syncing at real volume.

Still an active request, no committed date, but it has not been forgotten.
