When to use Webhooks by Zapier versus building a Trigger of type REST hook

Hi @jeffernst 

Here’s a help article about the REST Hook Trigger for the Zapier Platform: https://platform.zapier.com/docs/triggers#rest-hook-trigger

Thanks @Troy Tessalone what the article doesn’t say is why I would build a REST Hook Trigger in my Integration versus just using a Webhooks by Zapier trigger in my zap. Any thoughts on that?

@jeffernst 

Building a Zap and building a App integration are different things.

A Zap that uses a Webhook trigger provides a webhook URL for the end user to place in the origin app to send notifications about events to fire the Zap.

An App integration that has a trigger allows for an end user to create a Zap and select that preconfigured trigger option w/o having to configure a webhook.

Additional insight to this: 

If you are looking to eventually have your app listed as an App integration on Zapier, Zapier no longer accepts or publishes static hook triggers as they are no different than a Webhook by Zapier trigger. All webhook triggers must follow the rest hooks protocol. https://resthooks.org/

@GetUWired regarding your additional insight above, I want to make sure when you say “static hook triggers” that you’re NOT talking about using a Static Dropdown on a REST hook trigger. Is that correct?
