Dropbox webhooks getting team related response instead of File Related Information

Hi dhavalsoni,

First of all, that's NOT response - it's message! Such type of message notified you about there are some change(s) in related (linked) account(s). The notification may be about change of any kind and there is no way to limit it. Within the notification "flows" id of account/team/member where corresponding change(s) happens (this doesn't mean that it's team change or there is not a file change - could be anything). You have to check what actually it IS. There is no such information within the message. For file trace, you can save last cursor for folders recursive listing for every linked account and once event that suppose some change happens, try continue listing. As a response of such a try you will receive all changes, if any.

Good luck.

dhavalsoni Based on the sample you shared, I see that your app is "team-linked", and so is receiving team webhook notifications. You can find the documentation for team webhooks here, and the documentation for user webhooks here.

Either way, note that for file/folder changes, webhook notifications only tell you when something has changed, but not what has changed. You'd then need to then call the API to see what has changed, e.g., /2/files/list_folder[/continue].
