Webhooks create = update and effective change date?

Hi there,

we have a simple APIv1 interface fetching all changed persons since last run and checking if a dict of fields has been changed to synchronize / download the info and update into another system here.

When investigating into the direction of Webhooks, I was wondering about the following two questions which couldn't be answered from the documentation:

  • events
    We need to get user data as soon as field x,y,z are "changed". We also consider changes to be from NULL to value on creation. Do I have to listen to both events or is changed fired also on create but create not on change?
  • effective date on update event?
    Is the update event fired as soon as the field has changed or on the effective change date set with the field change?

Thanks,

Matthias
