Webhooks are useful tools that allow applications to send real-time (or near real-time) data to another service when a specific event occurs. <\/span>With webhooks, instead of repeatedly checking for updates, the system delivers a notification once a registered event happens.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While ArcGIS Online feature layer webhooks have been available for some time, they could only be created by making an API call to the ArcGIS REST Admin directory. Now, you can create and edit webhooks in ArcGIS Online, making access easier than ever.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who can create webhooks in ArcGIS Online?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Organization administrators can create webhooks on all hosted feature layers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Hosted feature layer owners can create webhooks on their own feature layer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. A member with update control rights. (Should belong to a\u00a0 shared-update group where such items are shared to that group, or have an administrative webhook custom role.) Learn more here<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I<\/span>mportant considerations<\/span> about hosted feature layer webhooks<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Webhooks can be created on a hosted feature layer, a hosted table, or a hosted feature layer view.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. The hosted feature layer must have <\/span><\/span>“Keep track of changes to the data”<\/span><\/span> enabled<\/span> for <\/span>a webhook to be created.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      3. Ten webhooks can be created for each hosted feature layer, hosted table, or hosted feature layer view.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
