Is it possible to stop sending webhook events for a particular user?

Hi,

Is it possible to stop a webhook triggering if the event was caused by a particular user?

The webhook post contains the user json block so I can do the check in my consuming code however I wondered if perhaps there was a way to avoid it even being sent in the first place.

Thanks,

John

I think you can not disable it for a particular user on Jira side. You should do the logic on the receiver side like you wrote.

Hi John,

As long as you have access to the JIRA administration console you can disable the Webhook.

Choose > System. Select Advanced > Webhooks to open the Webhooks page, which shows a list of all existing webhooks.
Click Disable or Delete

Cheers,

@somethingblueI guess your solution would disable the webhook for all users not for a particular user.

Hi Alexey,

From his description it sounded like he may have wanted to disable that one webhook all together:

The entire webhooks platform would not be disabled, only that one webhook:

Log in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.
Choose > System. Select Advanced > Webhooks to open the Webhooks page, which shows a list of all existing webhooks.
Here's a few tips on using this page:
- Click the summary of the webhook in the left 'Webhooks' column to display the details of the webhook. You can edit, delete and disable it via the details panel.
- Deleting a webhook removes it permanently. If you just want to prevent it from firing, disable the webhook instead.

Cheers,

Hi @somethingblue,

Thanks for your response but as @Alexey Matveev says I was looking for a solution that would allow the webhook to only fire on certain user events, not for it to be disabled completely.

Thanks,

John

Hi @Alexey Matveev,

Thank you for confirming I will leave my existing logic as it is .

Thanks,
