Getting an error when trying to create a webhook via API for a workspace

Trying to create a webhook via API (POST Establish a webhook endpoint) for a Workspace based on added, changed, and removed actions. I’m met with a 400 error and am unsure what’s causing it.

request body:

{
  "resource": "1174208460831550",
  "filters": [
    {
      "resource_type": "workspace",
      "action": "added"
    },
    {
      "resource_type": "workspace",
      "action": "changed"
    },
    {
      "resource_type": "workspace",
      "action": "removed"
    }
  ]
}

the error message I’m getting 400:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Could not interpret {\"data\": {\"resource\": \"1174208460831550\", \"filters\": [{\"resource_type\": \"workspace\", \"action\": \"added\"}, {\"resource_type\": \"workspace\", \"action\": \"changed\"}, {\"resource_type\": \"workspace\", \"action\": \"removed\"}]}} as an identifier in {\"data\": {\"resource\": \"1174208460831550\", \"filters\": [{\"resource_type\": \"workspace\", \"action\": \"added\"}, {\"resource_type\": \"workspace\", \"action\": \"removed\"}]}}.",
      "help": "For more information on API status codes and how to handle them, read the docs on errors: https://developers.asana.com/docs/errors"
    }
  ]
}```

Hi @User_1,

If you’re trying to create a webhook to capture when a workspace is added/changed/removed, that’s not supported by the Asana API.

If you’re trying to capture when a project is added/changed/removed within a workspace, then the resource_type in the filter needs to be project, not workspace.

Also, you’re missing the data wrapper around the request:

{
  "data": {
      "resource": "1174208460831550",
      "filters": [
        {
          "resource_type": "workspace",
          "action": "added"
        },
        {
          "resource_type": "workspace",
          "action": "changed"
        },
        {
          "resource_type": "workspace",
          "action": "removed"
        }
      ]
  }
}

Does this info help?

Perfect! Thank you so much @Phil_Seeman for the quick response! Do you happen to know if trying to capture when users and teams have been added/changed/removed within a workspace is possible?

Teams should be possible, though I don’t think I’ve tried it.

Users per se isn’t available but Workspace memberships should be, which is basically the same thing.

Thank you so much for the help here @Phil_Seeman ! Currently trying to create a webhook for Teams in a workspace, but I seem to be getting the same error as before. Here’s the request body:

{"data": {"resource": "12345678", "filters": [{"resource_type": "team", "action": "added"}, {"resource_type": "team", "action": "changed"}, {"resource_type": "team", "action": "removed"}]}}

error message:

{"errors": [{"message": "Could not interpret {\"data\": {\"resource\": \"1203803514816598\", \"filters\": [{\"resource_type\": \"team\", \"action\": \"added\"}, {\"resource_type\": \"team\", \"action\": \"changed\"}, {\"resource_type\": \"team\", \"action\": \"removed\"}]}} as an identifier in {\"data\": {\"resource\": \"1203803514816598\", \"filters\": [{\"resource_type\": \"team\", \"action\": \"added\"}, {\"resource_type\": \"team\", \"action\": \"changed\"}, {\"resource_type\": \"team\", \"action\": \"removed\"}]}}.", "help": "For more information on API status codes and how to handle them, read the docs on errors: https://developers.asana.com/docs/errors"}]}

Not sure what could be causing this error.

Fixed it! I wasn’t passing in the content-type header!

Is there documentation on whitelisted filters for certain objects or does the “'added”, “changed”, “removed” apply to them all?

Tried making a webhook for users in a workspace with this request body (resource is the gid of a user in workspace):

{"data": {"resource": "12345678", "target": "<target_uri>", "filters": [{"resource_type": "team", "action": "added"}, {"resource_type": "team", "action": "changed"}, {"resource_type": "team", "action": "removed"}]}}

and getting this error response:

{"errors": [{"error": "invalid_filters_for_larger_scoped_webhooks", "message": "Webhooks for larger scoped resources must have at least one filter and all filters must be in our whitelist.", "user_message": "Webhooks for larger scoped resources must have at least one filter and all filters must be in our whitelist.", "help": "For more information on API status codes and how to handle them, read the docs on errors: https://developers.asana.com/docs/errors"}]}

am I setting the resource incorrectly @Phil_Seeman ?

I’m confused - did you post the wrong screenshot in your last post above? It shows teams but you mentioned users?

12

Sorry, meant to say team

13

Were you able to get teams added/changed/removed working or no? You said “fixed it” but then mentioned getting an error.

FWIW I don’t believe teams is supported for workspace-level webhooks; I had forgotten about this thread:
