[Released]Employee Webhook - False Events?

Post by albert » Fri Feb 17, 2023 4:27 pm

Hi,

I've come across some strange activity with the Employee webhooks. I seem to be getting false events indicating new employees being created then updated.

For example, today 2/17 @ 7:36AM PST, I received an event that Employee #1865 has been created with Origin IP 172.68.146.33.
Then, @ 7:52AM PST, I received an event that Employee #1865 has been updated with Origin IP 172.68.146.26.

The problem with this is that there is no employee # 1865.

Looking at past event logs, this seems to happen quite often.

Would anyone know the reason for this? Is this an error?

Hi albert,
We are not aware of any problems with false events or mixed data for the webhook subscriptions.

If this is a continuing problem send me a private message with your build details where this is happening so I can do some investigation.

Alternatively update the callback url in your webhook subscription if possible and see if the false events stop.
