SharePoint and webhooks endless loops

[Thomas Leclaire]

For having event based reactions on list changes, I'm considering to go with webhooks. One thing that comes to my mind is how do I prevent an endless loop with webhooks and sharepoint lists when the webhook updates the same list itself? Is that a thing anyway?

Is anybody using webhooks at all? 

Thanks

My first thought is that you should update the items only if it's actually needed.
I you reenter the webhook, you should compute whether the values are new values or identical to apply - or not - the update
