Projects v2 Webhook Feedback #17405

Thanks for adding the Projects Beta Webhooks. I want to get more information on the item being changed. Currently, it returns. "changes": {
"field_value": {
"field_node_id": "xxxxxxxxx",
"field_type": "single_select"
}
},Information like the title of the field, the selection value and a key pair value of the other table column for that item would be nice to have. I understand there is |

Does this also mean that it's impossible to get what column the item was moved from? The GraphQL API will only seems to return the current column rather than the previous one. I'm trying to explore a webhook that can log when items have been moved from one column to another, and need both the previous and new column. |

I agree that having the old value as part of the data in this webhook would make it much more useful. (Also for my use case.) |

Hey folks, wanted to call out that we won't be able to do this for a bit and it has to do with how Projects are Org level and Actions are Repo level. Simply put, we don't have an elegant way to bridge the gaps between Orgs and Repos in this regard. As @MPLew-is was mentioning, rerouting the webhook to your own infra is the work around for now. We have conversations open with the Actions team but that isn't our backlog so hard to tell when something like this will be supported. It will be one day, just don't have a ton of clarity on when. Apologies in advance, I totally agree that this is a big omission. |

Since project items can be PRs, could we add actions triggers for adding / removing a pr to/from a project? Or add it to the PR edit trigger? |

How is this still not a thing 18 months later? With classic Projects being disabled, this breaks any ability for GitHub users to have a meaningful SDLC with automation managed within the platform. At least re-enabled Classic projects until you can meet parity. |

Hey! Thanks for taking a look at the issue. That is indeed weird. I also was getting 204 responses from project_v2 webhooks triggers but I thought that the problem lied in the response. A malformed field or something. And no I haven't reached to Discord. I'm doubt that they would be helpful in any way. I'm not familiar about this matter but given the fact we append "/github" at the end of discord webhook urls when setting up a github repo webhook, doesn't that mean that you indeed have collaborated on webhooks with them to make webhook integration into their app work smoothly? Best regards :) |

I believe it's just something Discord has set up to parse manually to have pretty messages, they did it for Slack too. I think you'll have to wait for Discord to add support for this event. https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#execute-githubcompatible-webhook |

Things like this are one reason I’d love to see the decision to only use GraphQL reconsidered - in order for Discord to generate messages from webhooks with any helpful content, they’re now going to have to set up a GitHub App installation in order to have the right credentials to go query project item information. If the webhook bodies contained a little more information in them than just GraphQL node IDs, integration with external services could be done a lot more simply. I don’t doubt Discord has the resources to implement it fairly quickly if they wanted, but that’s quite a bit of start-up overhead if you’re building something custom like I did. |

Hi, I've encountered the similar issues with GitHub Projects webhooks not triggering Discord notifications, and I believe this is a problem on the GitHub side. When making changes in GitHub Projects, such as moving an item from one column to another or creating a new column, there is no delivery recorded in the Recent Deliveries history of the webhooks management panel. In contrast, GitHub Repo webhooks are delivered normally to Discord. However, it appears that Discord side does not properly process all of these webhooks, like the delivered label changes webhooks cannot trigger the notification in Discord... |

Projects Beta Webhooks' project2_v2_item hooks are currently limited to Organization webhooks, and GitHub Apps with the organization_projects permission. Are there any plans to support projects_v2_item webhooks for user accounts anytime soon? Without this support, it seems that GitHub Apps that need project, project_card, and project_column notifications can no longer support user accounts that are not tied to an organization. |

It seems like a major oversight that there is no possible way to trigger anything when something on a project updates for projects tied to a user account. The only way to check if something has changed is to poll the GraphQL API. Will there ever be a webhook for project v2 updates tied to user accounts? |

Hmmm ya that does sound expensive, under what circumstances do you need to update fields? Potentially you could only update fields when items are updated? and/or limit the polling |

Hi @skw, yes, we can and will limit the polling as you suggest. It does increase latency, unfortunately, by adding 1 more round trip to GitHub for several common operations. Please add one vote for increasing the priority of the push notification, and thanks (again) for your answers! |

Hi @danielbrodin, currently we only return the graphql node_id, which allows you to make a query and get all the fields you need. We would like to eventually add support for changed values but this wouldn't include all other field values. A query to get all fields could look something like this (would need to add the fieldValue types you need): {
node(id: "PVTI_...") {
... on ProjectV2Item {
fieldValues(first: 1) {
nodes{
... on ProjectV2ItemFieldTextValue {
text
field {
... on ProjectV2FieldCommon {
name
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
} |

If showing custom fields is too inefficient, would at least love to be able to see the current status of card without having to make an extra API call. A bonus would be to see the old status as well. Current status would cover 80% of the scenarios or at least you can build your automations around this |
