Hi jacky-radix,

😁 You haven't added any kind of webhook to your account. 🤫 It's impossible! Webhook is a way for an application to trace accounts activity (accounts that accepted to use particular application), so webhook can be added to that application, not to account. It's another story about did you accept your application to be used by your account? 🤔 It's NOT something automatic, if that's what confuses you, you should join your app through your account, as would be for any other account! Only joined accounts activity is traced. 😉 If there are no, joined accounts (or activity gets up on different account - non joined), no activities can come up to your webhook.

Hope this gives direction.

Hi, Здравко
Thank you for your reply.

I am not getting that, I have created one app in console and there is a field to enter a webhook url. So I have added that and enabled.

Now I want a notification of change on that URL.

Is it possible?

    Hi jacky-radix, just for clarification, are you using the Dropbox API when creating this webhook?

    Yes, in that way you have already registered webhook URL to your application (NOT to your account). As Greg mentioned too, only linked account(s) will be traced (including eventually yours). You have to do it explicitly; it's not done automatic. An easy way to do it is just link by hand (like described here, for instance). Once you linked your application to your account your application should appear in your used applications list (all applications, got access to your account, are listed there).

    Hope this helps.
