We are working on a synchronization project, where emailaddresses are kept synched between CiviCRM and Simplelists (webapp for mailinglists). We use the API to send and receive data. On the CiviCRM side the post hook is used to catch any updates in CiviCRM. However, if a create action is issued from the API, the post hook is also triggered. And quite rightly so as there is a create action. As far as I know there is no way in which to determine if the create requests originates from the API or from the core CiviCRM UI.

Any ideas on how we might be able to hold where a create action originates from? Could we add something to the $config?

Hi,

You can set a global variable in a hook that is triggered only in the UI (eg validate) and check if that global variable is set in the post.

Hackish but should get the stuff done...
