Yes, the Webflow Webhooks API supports filtering events based on a defined changed field, including for the collection_item_changed webhook event. With the Webflow Webhooks API, you can specify the properties you want to monitor for changes by using the filter parameter.

To filter events based on a defined changed field in the collection_item_changed webhook event, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a webhook for the collection_item_changed event: First, you need to create a webhook using the Webflow API or the Webflow dashboard. Specify the event type as collection_item_changed.

  2. Use the filter parameter: When creating the webhook, include the filter parameter to specify the properties you want to monitor for changes. For example, you can filter the events to only trigger when a specific field like "name" or "status" is changed.

    The filter parameter follows the format filter[property][operator]=value. Here, you replace property with the field you want to monitor, operator with the comparison operator, and value with the value you want to filter against.

    For example, to filter based on changes in the "name" field, the filter parameter would be filter[name][changed]=true.

  3. Process the filtered webhook events: Once you have set up the webhook with the desired filter, you will receive the collection_item_changed events only when the specified field has changed.

By incorporating this filtering mechanism, you can ensure that your application or integration will receive only the relevant webhook events based on the specified changed field.

This feature of the Webflow Webhooks API allows you to efficiently manage and process webhook events based on specific field changes, providing you with more control and flexibility in integrating Webflow with other systems.
