Question

Does a folder level v2 webhook include files underneath the folder?

I would test this myself, but I'm unable to fully test webhooks due to VPN limitations.

I'm interested in monitoring changes to all files within an account. I believe V1 webhooks do this inherently, but I would rather use the V2 API. Would a webhook on a top level folder deliver events related to all files/folders underneath it, recursively?

If so, then I believe a single v2 webhook might accomplish my goal. If not, then I don't think v2 would be an option, due to the 1000 webhook limit, since there will be more than 1000 files within the app.

    Hi Dan

    V2 Webhook are recursive so when applied at a folder level they will fire for the configured events in that folder and all subfolders. Please note that V2 webhooks cannot be configured on the folder '0'
