Trigger API call on Contact Change?
I would like to use the V2 API to automatically send updates to a FileMaker Pro database (and maybe others in the future) whenever certain fields in a Contact are changed such as name, address, email, etc.
The documentation on the API is clear and I can manually launch such a PHP program from the browser, but I need to automate the process so whenever a user or an administrator updates a contact record, the PHP program is invoked behind the scenes.
Is this possible?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi folks,
Wild Apricot now supports outbound webhooks.
This means Wild Apricot can send programmatic notifications to external services when something important happens, e.g. when a contact is modified or an event registration is created. For a full list of possible notifications see our help page https://gethelp.wildapricot.com/en/articles/1670
Our next step is to make it available as Integromat module for less techy audience.

Have this working in PHP now to update our MySQL db which is used by custom applications. Working much better than just periodically syncing. Thanks!

+1 for callback

Call back would be ideal, but until implemented at least a "Last Updated" field which could be queried, so we could just find new/updated records and process them, rather than have to retrieve all records.

We are interested in this also.
Thanks.

In a long-term, it's much better to have a callback system - so that WA calls a client provided URL when a trigger fires - rather then all our clients having constantly running code to check if some data changed.

The easiest way to implement it is to write a script like here https://gist.github.com/anonymous/cb2e35dc3f330b957502 . Please note it's just a sample to describe an idea, not a valid script for any language.

No, not possible. I'll move this to Wishlist, API category
