=================
Webhook Listeners
=================

.. _webhook_listeners:

Nextcloud supports listening to internal events via webhooks.

Installation
------------

* Enable the ``webhook_listeners`` app that comes bundled with Nextcloud

.. code-block:: bash
occ app:enable webhook_listeners
Listening to events
-------------------

You can use the OCS API to add webhooks for specific events: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/developer_manual/_static/openapi.html#/operations/webhook_listeners-webhooks-index

Filters
~~~~~~~

When registering a webhook listener, you can specify a filter parameter. The value of this parameter must be a JSON object whose properties represent filter conditions. The ``{}`` is an empty query, meaning no specific criteria, so all events are matched.

If you would like to match events fired by a specific user, you can pass ``{ "user.uid": "bob" }`` to match all events fired in the context of user ``"bob"``.

If you would like to enforce multiple criteria, you can simply pass multiple properties ``{ "event.tableId": 42, "event.rowId": 3 }``

You can also use additional comparison operators (``$eq, $ne, $gt, $gte, $lt, $lte, $in, $nin``) as well as logical operators (``$and, $or, $not, $nor``). For example use ``{ "time" : { "$lt": 1711971024 } }`` to accept only events prior to April 1st 2024 and ``{ "time" : { "$not": { "$lt": 1711971024 } } }`` to accept events after April 1st 2024.

==================
Windmill Workflows
==================

Nextcloud integrates the Windmill workflow engine (https://www.windmill.dev/) to allow advanced custom workflows interacting with your Nextcloud instance.

Installation
------------

* Install Windmill

* Either as a standalone install or via the Windmill External App in Nextcloud (see :ref:`External Apps<ai-app_api>`)

* Enable the ``webhook_listeners`` app that comes with Nextcloud

.. code-block:: bash
occ app:enable webhook_listeners
Building a workflow
-------------------

Each workflow in windmill is a listener to a Nextcloud Webhook Event. If you are using the ExApp-packaged windmill, it will automatically register webhooks for the workflows you build using the following mechanism. If you are not using the ExApp-packaged windmill install then you will have to register webhooks for your workflows manually via the webhook_listeners API: see https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/developer_manual/_static/openapi.html#/operations/webhook_listeners-webhooks-index

The magic listener script
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first script in any workflow you build that should listen to a nextcloud webhook must be ``CORE:LISTEN_TO_EVENT``. It must be an empty script with two parameters that you should fill statically: ``events``, which is a list of event IDs to listen to and ``filters`` a filter condition that allows more fine grained filtering for which events should be used. The filter condition as well as the available events with their payloads is documented in :ref:`the webhook_listeners documentation<webhook_listeners>`.

Nextcloud Scripts
-----------------

Nextcloud makes available a variety of scripts to be used in Windmill for interfacing with Nextcloud apps. You can find them
at https://hub.windmill.dev/ or in your windmill instance when selecting existing scripts for creating a new workflow.
