Using Webhooks to get SharePoint List/Library Event Notifications

Session Abstract

Mature organizations that use the Microsoft 365 often need to run custom workflows when users update files and list items in SharePoint Online. When there's only a single list or library, it makes sense to use a tool like Power Automate or an Azure Logic Apps. However, these tools require connecting a workflow to each list or library, making these solutions difficult to manage when there are many lists and libraries in many sites. Enter stage left: SharePoint Webhooks. To be clear, webhooks are not a power user tool; they require the ability to architect and manage cloud resources and write enterprise level code. But the benefits and scalability make it well worth the time investment! In this session you'll learn about: • What webhooks are and what are some of the common use cases they can help solve • What common architectural pattern for managing your subscriptions and events looks like • What cloud services are commonly used to support the common architecture • What boilerplate code looks like to establish and manage subscriptions and react to event notifications • Where and how you might implement custom handlers for establishing what subscriptions are needed and what happens when an event is fired. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to manage file and list workflows at scale to reduce risk and simplify management!
