## Call Log
Call Log allows user to check the call history of the hook. By default, it has been disabled. However, it can be configured by using environment variable `NC_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL` .
- `NC_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL=OFF` : No logs will be displayed and no history will be inserted to meta database.
- `NC_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL=ERROR` : only error logs will be displayed and history of error logs will be inserted to meta database.
- `NC_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL=ALL` : Both error and success logs will be displayed and history of both types of logs will be inserted to meta database. **This option is only available for Enterprise Edition.**
## Triggers
Webhooks allows user to trigger on certain operations on following database operations
- AFTER INSERT
- AFTER UPDATE
- AFTER DELETE
The triggers will trigger asynchronously without blocking the actual operation.

## Accessing Data: Handlebars
:::caution
You can access data using handlebars for v1 webhooks only.
:::
The current row data and other details will be available in the hooks payload so the user can use [handlebar syntax ](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/#simple-expressions ) to use data.
> We are using [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/) library to parse the payload internally.
### Example
For a table with column names (id, title, created_at, updated_at).
For INSERT/ UPDATE based triggers, use following handlebars to access corresponding **data** fields.
- `{{ **data**.id }}`
- `{{ **data**.title }}`
- `{{ **data**.created_at }}`
- `{{ **data**.updated_at }}`
Note that, for Update trigger - all the fields in the ROW will be accessible, not just the field updated.
For DELETE based triggers, **only** `{{ data.id }}` is accessible representing ID of the column deleted.
### JSON format
Use `{{ json data }}` to dump complete data & user information available in JSON format
