Detect if webhook comes from admin or api

[mmlacabra]

Hi everyone

i need to be able to detect whether a webhook (in my care “products/update” is being triggered / called from someone updating the product via the Shopify admin interface or from my own api. 

I have some logic that got my trapped and I don’t have to update a product if that webhook is called as a result of an updated on a variant made by my own api. 

id greatly appreciate any help u might have

Hi @mmlacabra,

Thanks for your post. With the "products/update" webhook there is not currently a way to tell by looking at the webhook's data whether it was triggered by a change in the admin, via the API, or due to a sale decreasing the inventory.

We're submitting some feedback on your behalf about how that would be useful information to have.

Hope you have a great day

What is the status on this feature ? 
This is very frustrating not to have it ://
