SPFX sharepoint online webpart subscibe to list webhooks

Question

Hi all,I would like to know if is possible to develop spfx Sharepoint online webpart with similar behaviour which is in standard SharePoint list (document library) view webpart for example - when data in underline list is updated web part is automatically updated without any page reload.I know about this possible solutions:1) query list in intervals and check for update2) Use webhooks on list with combination with custom Azure Functions -&gt; SignalR or something similar.Is there any simple solution how for example sign for webhook directly in webpart.Thank you.Tomas

Excal730&nbsp;Hi, if your Web Parts are on the same page you can use "Dynamic Data"https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/dynamic-data&nbsp;&nbsp;

Interesting hint about dynamic-data for some different scenario I have. But for current one List with data is just in background (not on same page 😞 )&nbsp;

Excal730&nbsp;Do you need it for Libraries? Check out notifications.&nbsp;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/subscribe-to-list-notifications

Beau Cameron&nbsp;nice this is exactly what I was looking for but unfortunately for List 😞 ... so at least I will put it to my tool-shelf for some other scenario.&nbsp; 🙂Will be something like this simple possible in future with Microsoft fluid? Scenarios which I have seen until now are more about multiple client connected directly .. not thought some DB/ListAny thoughts ?&nbsp;

Ah, ya, I don't know when Subscriptions would become available for Lists and not Libraries.  I don't think it will be a feature of Fluid Framework. For what it's worth, I have done Option 2 - WebHooks to Azure Function to Socket.Io in my Web Parts before. So that is feasible.
