Webhook Inbound Messages filter for New Conversations only

We are using a front webhook for “all incoming messages” and forward these to our own endpoint. I need to filter out ONLY NEW conversations somehow but it seems quite tricky looking at the webhook payload. We only have a professional account (and wont upgrade to enterprise any time soon). How could I reliably filter out all replies and follow up emails and only keep NEW conversations when processing the webhook event?

Hi there! Is your webhook currently configured using Front’s rule framework? If so, then you can try creating a rule that fires only on “inbound new conversation” and have that rule use a ‘send to webhook’ action to send that event to your webhook. That would likely be the best way to trigger a webhook response only on inbound new conversations!

Thanks but as I said, I cannot use Company Rules as we are not on Enterprise...

Ah, sorry for misunderstanding! Even without company rules, you should be able to create this as a team rule for your workspace, though if you’d like the rule to also work for individual inboxes you’ll need to recreate the rule each time for a teammate as well.
