Feature service webhooks are currently not available in ArcGIS Enterprise. Please email us at This article only applies for ArcGIS Online. If you have specific requirements related to webhooks, we’d love to hear about it. If you are interested in using webhooks with Integromat, see this blog post to get started. This is a very technical procedure and is recommended for intermediate to advanced users. In this article we’ll introduce key concepts and then guide you through the ins and outs of configuring a webhook that works with ArcGIS Field Maps and Microsoft Power Automate to improve and automate key workflows. Would you like to be notified when a mobile worker completes an inspection? How about an automatic report that’s generated after new data is collected or updated in the field?
