                "path": "/repos/{{call .repo.FullNameByRepoURL .app.spec.source.repoURL}}/statuses/{{.app.status.operationState.operation.sync.revision}}", 
                "commitAuthor" : "{{(call .repo.GetCommitMetadata .app.status.sync.revision).Author}}",

                } 
        trigger.on-sync-status-unknown: | 
          - description: Application status is 'Unknown' 
            send: 
            - app-sync-status-unknown 
            when: app.status.sync.status == 'Unknown' 
        trigger.on-sync-succeeded: | 
          - description: Application syncing has succeeded 
            send: 
            - app-sync-succeeded 
            when: app.status.operationState.phase in ['Succeeded'] 
        subscriptions: |

            - sn_devops_argocd 
            triggers: 
            - on-sync-succeeded 
            - on-sync-status-unknown
    2. Open the Argo CD app for which you are configuring webhooks.
    3. Navigate to APP DETAILS > SUMMARY.
    4. Add the notifications.argoproj.io/subscribe.<trigger>.<service>: <recipient> annotation with the trigger condition to sync the change status for your instance.
      For example, notifications.argoproj.io/subscribe.on-sync-succeeded.sn_devops_argocd.Notification subscription.
