If I have a workflow where there are 3 webhook triggers. The workflow runs when either webhook get’s sent data. What would happen if all get triggered at the same time?
The idea is that each trigger represents a different client. Instead of re-creating a new workflow for each client I’d rather have it all in one so it’s easier to manage.
In the event that 3 web hooks receive data at the same time, will it eventually still run all of them? Also would the first webhook need to finish the entire workflow before the second webhook gets triggered? how does it work?
What would be a turn around in my use case, just create a new workflow for every client? What if I need to update the workflow for all clients at the same time.
I’m thinking a workaround is to make the webhook execute a workflow trigger, and use the same workflow trigger for each Webhook. But then I guess the same question would arise, what would happen if multiple workflows call the same workflow at the same time?
If it produces a new execution within the same workflow then supposed I had 800 web hooks for the example below. And all 800 Webhooks received data at the exact same time.
My question is will each of the client’s CRM be updated at the same time. Or will it wait till one execution is done before moving on to the second?
Why you need so many webhooks? And in the example you have provided, why you need 3 webhooks for clients instead of one?
It won’t wait. E.g.
Client 1 triggered webhook
Client 2 triggered webhook
Client 3 triggered webhook
CRM may be updated in any order. There might be also situations when the CRM will be updated during the updating process. In such cases you’ll need a message broker service, that will process the requests one-by-one.
To simplify everything, assume the workflow is: When a client get’s a new lead in their CRM they want a note added that says “new lead” in their CRM.
In this instance, if I have 500 clients that want this service. Instead of making 500 different workflows, I’ll just have one workflow with 500 webhooks. Then when a new lead comes it’ll update.
Okay, so that being said: will each of the client’s CRM be updated at the same time?
I’m asking because I’m just a little confused:
Here it seems like you’re saying it won’t work at the same time
But here it seems like you’re saying it will run at the same time
And here it seems like you’re saying that it won’t wait, and that if 800 webhooks received data at the same time that all 800 will execute at the same time.
Ohh you were clear, I just wasn’t familiar with all the lingo. You’re 100% right, for some reason I was thinking that I’d need a different Webhook for every client, you just made my life so much easier.
