Hey there everyone,
Well, the weekend of the 1st to 2nd August, our webhook integration stopped receiving custom field change events.
It seems like the feature was completely wiped / abandoned.
Quick background:
- we have quite an extensive board setup, in which tasks are in 2 boards (1x client + 1x the corresponding department)
- To automate editing / moving of tasks, we setup quite an extensive set of n8n automations that draws whom to add etc. from our erp (that’s the reason why we didn’t do the native automations)
- That system relied entirely on the custom fields: operators toggle the fields => task moves
**
What we relied on:** webhooks with the filter
{ “resource_type”: “task”, “resource_subtype”: “default_task”, “action”: “changed”, “fields”: [“custom_fields”] }
These delivered a task / changed event (with change.field: “custom_fields” and change.new_value) whenever a single-select custom field changed on a task.
What changed: those webhooks now receive only heartbeats — no custom-field events. Changing a single-select custom field now emits only a story event with resource_subtype: “enum_custom_field_changed”. The old task / changed + custom_fields event is no longer delivered to webhooks.
How we confirmed it (to rule out a stale subscription): on one project we registered two fresh webhooks at the same time — one with the old task/changed/custom_fields filter, one with story/added + enum_custom_field_changed — then changed a custom field once. Only the story webhook fired. The Events API on the project shows the same: only the story event, no task/changed event.
Is this a known error? was the feature deliberately removed? Any smart workarounds (we switched it to using the stories, but it’s meh)
Best regards, Paul
