Negative filter for Webhooks

[Rudrakshi]

Query form Jeremy Hall@charter.com on #webex4devs space:

Is there a way to specify a not condition in webhooks filter, for example not roomId=blah, to notify on all rooms except this one?

Hello @Rudrakshi,

Has this webhook filter functionality changed since this was posted 2 years ago, or do webhooks still not support negative filtering?

Hello @ZachDaniel42904 ,

Unfortunately, it is not yet supported. However, I couldn't find any feature request for this either. If you want you can submit a feature request via the portal (https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/ideas/) for product management to review.

Unfortunately, there is no negative filter (i.e filter by !=) allowed at the webhook level so you would need to come up with some other filtering method on your end after you receive the webhook payload.
To get a deeper insight of how to user webhook filters, I would recommend you to please refer to the documentation here: https://developer.webex.com/docs/webhooks#filtering-webhooks .

Moreover you may also submit a feature request via the customer collaboration portal (https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/ideas/) for product management to review.

Hope you find this helpful!
