Shopify sends webhook of 'product-update' in both cases- Updating a product AND creating an Order

Topic summary

Shopify’s ‘product/update’ webhook is reported to fire both when a product is edited and when an order is created, leading to unwanted notifications. A webhook is an automatic server-to-server notification sent by Shopify when specific events occur.

The goal is to receive the webhook only for genuine product updates and not for order-related events.

A participant asks whether there’s a method to distinguish normal product update notifications from those triggered by order creation, or to reject unnecessary notifications.

No solution, workaround, or filtering approach has been shared in the thread yet. The discussion remains open with the key question unanswered.

Hello,
Did you find any solution to differentiate a normal product update notification, and notification due to order update? or any other way to reject unnecessary notification?
Thanks in advance.
