Portal-Template-Webhook-Listener

A webhook listener that allows you to define a template for various items within your portal. When a new or updated item is mismatched with the template, an email is sent out to a configured group of people.

Deployment Steps

App Configuration

• To edit the settings for the email and SMTP server, edit emailConfig.json
• To enter credential information for the portal, so your app can run, enter it into appCredentials.json
• To define templates for your portal items, so that they match, add/remove/edit items within itemTemplates.json

Python Environment Setup

• Make sure that you use python 3.X as your python environment for this flask server
• Make sure the following packages are installed into your python environment (use conda install , for conda environments)
  • flask
  • flask-cors
  • arcgis

Run ListeningServer.py

Portal Setup

• Navigate to your Portal's rest directory
• Follow the steps here: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/create-and-manage-webhooks.htm
• When you actually create the webhook:
  • Name the webhook whatever
  • Enter the URL to your flask server in the payload URL
  • Make the webhook trigger on any event (webmap item events are the only working ones at the moment)

Try creating or editing Portal items, and you should receive an email if the item mismatches your templates in itemTemplates.json
