[BETA] App Configuration Update Webhook

A new v0-beta app signal webhook is now available; the v0-beta.app.configuration.updated webhook will be sent whenever a Benchling App’s configuration is updated.

What’s changing?

Previously, app developers had no way of knowing when a user had updated their app’s configuration without querying the configuration. This meant that many apps would query their app’s configuration more often than necessary, sometimes at the start of every process.

With the addition of the v0-beta.app.configuration.updated app signal, a webhook will be sent whenever an app’s configuration is updated. App developers will now know exactly when (and if) their app’s configuration details have been updated. This allows for more flexibility: For example, instead of periodically polling for updates apps can now be configured to cache their configuration until an update is made.

When is this happening?

This new app signal is now live! Apps that are currently receiving webhooks for other app signals should begin seeing configuration.updated webhooks.
