**Field Conditions**

A webhook subscription can only have an *Object Type* and an *Event Type* or an *Alert Script*. The corresponding fields are disabled to match this condition.

If the *Channel Type* chosen is HTTP, then the *URL* field must also be filled in.&#x20;

### Expression

![Expression Input Area](https://1404085267-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZES3IDyXDRs9Dzhv8ToB%2Fuploads%2FAwWIaYLVal8jwUTSuqeu%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=f56af377-f799-43c8-84d8-ac7ed42d2f8a)

{% hint style="info" %}
This is an optional field to write a [Java expression](https://dataloy-cloud.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VMSINT/pages/923414758/Webhooks) against the object changed.
{% endhint %}

On this input area, you can also write the expression by choosing in a menu the wanted field.

1. Press dot ( . ) to see the menu.
2. You can either scroll through the menu or type the wanted field.
3. Choose the desired field. If the chosen is an object, the menu will now show the fields of that object.

![Menu shown when "." is pressed](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/7DFECEmdqt4WXyVksCTAlZSupw0sgn0xg6I0vCcAuxFAjB7XsLxg4IFvmMULTvFZbZGxsK9ltreTq_27mSFwnMne0PbQ3IwEgRhDr25TH7WCo7jVL6lePE2yG_94HW8LdiyFCDhy_YVLcdEIMw)

A list of operators is also available by pressing the dollar sign ( $ ). Please make sure there is a space before and after the operator.

![Operator list menu](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/tbOmHk1340PWRVDZgPA7if_UtFxGdajjMrupGjBXLSDU9-z4ZWYj9p5vfqkhxNBmpMgB7CvyqZX10xl-QQCPC5B_lO_aq98k6f9yhIWCtnaxtH5nhxMWDYSBRl3LK_wI5sXHexANPAcESvOJyw)

You can use the expression to check the previous value of the object.

1. Press comma ( , ) to see the menu.
2. You can either scroll through the menu or type the wanted field.
3. Choose the desired field. Choosing a field from this menu will result in this format: **old.chosenField**. If the chosen field is an object, the menu will now show the fields of that object. Press "." for this menu and to continue to traverse the fields.

This expression will be translated in a way that you will get notified if the new voyage result is greater than the old voyage result.
