webhook delta
Hi Team
How to get what file path has been changed using webhooks in conjunction with list_folder/continue using deltas?? It will be very helpful if anyone posts sample json returned value from webhook notification using delta???
Thanks

Dropbox webhook notifications only tell you when something has changed. They don't include information about what exactly has changed. You can find an example of what a webhook notification body looks like in the webhook documentation under "Receiving notifications":
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks#notifications
Note that webhook notifications contain both "delta" and "list_folder" values for backwards compatibility for old apps. If you're developing your app now, you should only use the "list_folder" values.
When you get a webhook notification, you should look up the access token you have stored for the specified account ID(s), and then use it, along with a corresponding cursor, if any, to call /2/files/list_folder[/continue] to find out what changed for that account.
