How to detect draft topic via webhooks?

Support
1

Hi, I have custom Discourse webhook integration for notifications about new topics in chat server and I started to use draft feature for staff.

Unfortunately I don’t see any variable that I can check for to prevent exposing staff-stuff to regular users.

Am I missing something?

When a shared draft is created, the category_id will be set to the ID of the shared drafts category. You could try checking the category_id and then not publishing the topic if it comes from your shared drafts category.
