Late response from webhook

[sai1]

I am getting response from webhook for the first task change but for the next task changes in the same task of a workspace i am not getting the required output immediately.Is there any alternate way to get the output immediately.

[sai1]

I am getting the webhook for the previous task only if i add the next task also.whats the reason can anyone answer?

@sai1 ,

Define “not immediately” - what are we talking about in terms of a delay?

[sai1]

Happens to me also. I have exactly those to issues.
Big delays (over 30s) and events task ids are returning only one task.

Webhook Invalid behavior & Big delay.Change in tasks & change in sections. Are webhooks broken?

Hello everyone, I wanted every time a task is change column state (meaning memberships.sections) the webhook to call my NODEJS application. I was trying to create a POC with NODEJS yesterday so i can decide if we can move our asana team to a bigger Tier in our company. Saddly when i tried the webhooks i got a very strange behavior. I dont know if its something broken or im missing some informations that i coudnt find in the developer documentation. I set up a webhook successfully with this p…

Afraid I haven’t run into either that long of a delay or not seeing webhooks with the expected task IDs, and I don’t have any great ideas on what might be going on.

@JFrentz have you ever encountered this?

Yes unfortunatly there is still regular delays like you describe.

Hopefully Asana is closing in on a solid long term solution:

Webhooks and Events: Scheduled Downtime in December

As such, we’ve scheduled some brief downtime on two dates next month: Saturday, December 10th @ 9:00am - 10:00am PT Saturday, December 17th @ 9:00am - 10:00am PT During these times, there may be events lost as we migrate our event stream distributor to a new job.

Asana has improved their webhook delay significantly since my last post 27 days ago.
The median delay is ~7s since 5 December 2022. It is a 4x improvement.

Thanks to Asana team!

Hi @JFrentz,

That’s great to see!

Just curious what the formula is for your delay calculation - obviously the end of it is the time you receive a webhook, but what do you use as the start of the delay duration? Once you receive a webhook, do you then look at the modified timestamp on the object the webhook reported as your starting time? Or…?

Hi @Phil_Seeman, thanks! We are comparing event created_at with our timestamp of storing to db.
