group.members_synced
The set of people in a group changed, with the deltas.
project_id is always null for group events.When this fires
The membership of a group is replaced and the result differs from what was there before — via PUT /v1/groups/{group}/members or the dashboard's group editor.
A group carries permissions, so who is in it decides who can do what. Until this event existed, renaming a group announced itself with group.updated while changing who it granted access to announced nothing at all — an integration mirroring access control could see the label change and miss the membership.
A no-op sync is silent
Syncing the same set that is already there emits nothing. This event means the
membership actually moved, so receiving one always implies at least one id in
added_ids or removed_ids.
Required ability
group:view — the token must carry this at mint time to subscribe an endpoint to this event.

}Field reference
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
id | string ULID | Unique event id, prefixed evt_. Use for idempotent processing. |
type | string | Always group.members_synced for this event. |
created_at | ISO 8601 timestamp | Server-side emission time. |
api_version | string | Webhook API contract version. |
project_id | null | Always null — account-level event. |
data.group_id | string UUID | The group whose membership changed. |
data.team_id | string UUID | Team that owns the group. |
data.code | string | Stable group code, immutable across renames. |
data.name | string | Display name at the time of the sync. |
data.member_ids | array of UUID | The membership after the sync — the complete list, not a page of it. |
data.added_ids | array of UUID | Users who gained the group in this sync. Possibly empty. |
data.removed_ids | array of UUID | Users who lost it. Possibly empty. |
data.member_count | integer | member_ids.length, carried so a consumer can size the change without parsing the array. |
Why the deltas are in the payload
An access-control mirror needs to know who lost the group, and diffing two snapshots on the far side is work it should not have to do — it requires having stored the previous state, and gets the answer wrong the first time it sees a group. added_ids and removed_ids are computed where the truth is, from the membership read immediately before the write and the list written immediately after it.
member_ids is still there for consumers that would rather replace their copy than apply a patch. Both are consistent with each other.
Caveats
- This is a replace, not an add. Anyone absent from the request is removed. An empty list empties the group.
- Permissions are not in the payload. What the group grants is a property of the group, not of this event — read it from
GET /v1/groups/{group}if your mirror needs the effective permission set. - Users, not projects. A group clusters collaborators. It is not a way to bundle projects.
- Removal from a group does not remove anyone from the team.
