The thing is that I am testing this app on a personal account for now so the team members is not the issue.
There are changes being made when the Webhook returns an empty entry.
Could it be that the issue is that I only set the recursive property later on, after I had been running the code a few times?

4 years agoThis would depend on the particular timing and cursors you're using, but yes, the options you set on files_list_folder apply to the cursor resulting from that call, as well as all further cursors retrieved from that initial cursor. So, for example, if you are using a cursor that descends from a call that originally set 'recursive=False' (or omitted 'recursive', since the default is 'False), then you will not receive any nested entries when using that cursor (or any such descendant cursor). You would need to start again with files_list_folder to change the options.
