Receive 'product/update' webhooks from variant metafield updates

Hey, I saw a lot of conversations regarding similar questions, most of them are from 3 years ago.

I would like to know how / if possible at all, I can receive a webhook for when a product’s variant’s metafields are updated.

basically when product.variants[0].metafields changes.

If that is not possible, then what’s the best way to keep that data within my system in sync with shopify’s state in a near/real-time ?

Thanks,

Camille

In our testing, we’ve never been able to rely on webhooks to fire for variant (or other) metafields changing. If it’s a small product set, you could poll them through the rest or graphQL api (prob. best). If it’s large, polling with bulk data requests in graphQL is the way to go.
