How do I make a custom trigger node that filters to only certain fields?

Help me Build my Workflow

I am using the Asana trigger currently, but it runs any time ANY field is updated in a project. I have a filter to look for changes in the single field I care about as a trigger, but it means this trigger fires all the time and uses up my monthly executions. Is it possible to make a custom trigger that uses the same webhook but only monitors a specific field rather than ANY change in the project?

Hi @Will_Greenbohl

You probably need to try establishing your own Asana trigger with your own custom filters…

Thanks Mohamed, I just spent a bunch of time on this. The two part handshake is not super N8N friendly, but I may power on through to get this working.

Overall I find it pretty frustrating that N8N counts filtering a webhook as a separate operation. Seems like a pretty poor attempt to use up executions without providing any value. Zapier enables this, so I also may dump N8N altogether and go back to Zapier.
