Best practices for GROQ webhooks in Sanity.io and resolving an issue with delta::changedAny syntax.

Hi, I have two questions about GROQ webhooks:

changedAny syntaxLooks like the
docs here are off when you do more. I had to do two paretheses, e.g

delta::changedAny((name, phone))

, not to get invalid GROQ.

Trigger on both update and created with changedAny So, what’s the best practice (if it exists any best practices yet :)) when registrering webhooks. I’m trying to make a webhook for a specific type of documents fire on both creation
and on update only when specific fields has changed. I’m trying . This hook won’t fire on creation because if the

delta::changedAny

I guess.
So do you recommend registering two separate webhooks in this case? Or is there a way to say
“fire on both creation, and on update iff these fields changed”?

Hi Stian. Thanks for pointing out about the required extra parentheses. I’ll take a look.
For your second question, I expect one webhook would be better because it’s dry—unless it’s not possible. I’m just testing something now.

Yep, my thought as well:• One webhook is DRY
• And it’s easier to avoid redundant roundtrips and bytes over the wire #climatechange
🙂

Yep, my though as well:• One webhooks i DRY
• And it’s fewer bytes over the wire #climatechange
🙂

I don’t know if this is the best approach, but I figured you could use

before()._createdAt == null

to test for the creation use case.

Ah, of couse. Could also do

before() == null

, perhaps?

That was my initial plan in the projection:

Using just

before()

does seem to work as well.

Thanks for quick help! I think we’re trying to go for one webhook per document type then 🙂

You’re welcome! Just updating those guides to reflect your observation. Thanks again for pointing that out.
