I have a webhook that updates a field, let's call it FIELD1 through XML response mapping. I understand that webhooks, are asynchronous, hence my question: If I use a trigger "Webhook is Called" in a smart campaign, can I be sure that the FIELD1 is updated before the first flow step is executed? I looked at the product documentation and at developers.marketo.com, but could not find this detail. I read on the community about people using "Data Value Change" to trigger when there is an update caused by webhook, but I may also have other campaigns change this field and I do not want to create a separate field just for the purpose of Webhook response monitoring.

Hi Pavel,No, you should use a "data value changes" trigger.-Greg

Re: Webhook is Called and Field Update timing

The issue is that webhooks are completely asynchronous.

They aren't, though. The data updates go through a different tier that makes them asynchronous. The HTTP request itself is synchronous. Add a timeout and see.
