Product update webhook not triggered when media is updated

Webhooks and Events

Hi,

Product update webhook is not triggered when media is updated via API (eg rename file).
Expected: get a webhook with updated media data.
The product’s updated_at field is updated though in Shopify.

Hey Mark,

Thank you for sharing this.

This is considered expected behaviour from our side, at this time. As a file could belong to many products, firing downstream webhooks on a rename seems an undesirable outcome.

Hi EfstathiosStivaros. This change is pretty problematic. How are we supposed to detect changes to media then? We have to poll all products on all shops for updated_at time stamps that don’t match what we have? Is there no media_update webhook then?
