Description

  • As a user that has a webapp that sends data TO OpenFn, I may only be able to configure one webhook url.
  • In order to split that webhook trigger into multiple paths for my various forms, I need to first add a single job linked to the trigger, then add multiple downstream jobs with various filter conditions on their paths.
  • This first job is unnecessary and I often build it as a fn(state => state) no-op job.

Research direction

Start by locating how webhook triggers link to jobs, then trace how downstream paths and their filter conditions are represented. Done should mean a webhook trigger can route directly to multiple jobs, removing the need for an intermediate no-op job.
