Manual Webhook trigger and "webhook.create"

Question

Is it possible to trigger specific webhooks using the API?

We programmatically create Webhooks on all target Apps and want those hooks to be triggered once after the installation. We though of adding a tag and removing it right away (or modifying any field and putting it back right away), but this would trigger other item.update Webhooks as well.

When a Webhook is created or deleted, is the Webhook app.update launched?

Thank you!

Only by performing the same types of actions that will normally fire a webhook. I.e. you cannot fake it.
No, the app.update webhook is only fired when the app is saved through the template editor.

Does adding a tag trigger the `item.update` webhook? – Vincent Poirier Oct 17 '14 at 14:41
I believe it's only actual fields, but try it out. Should be easy to test – Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen Oct 17 '14 at 14:53
To add the info on here, the webhook is not triggered upon adding a tag. – Vincent Poirier Oct 18 '14 at 02:41
To conclude, the workaround (not clean...) that avoids any issues is to create a custom field through the API, add a value in it and then delete that field. – Vincent Poirier Oct 18 '14 at 18:07
