The API only seems to describe how to get other programs to control smartsheets, how do I get smartsheet to control other apps?
It seems to be possible, the zapier integration mentions that you can make an event "on new row".
In particular, it would be nice to get notifications on new rows and changes in dates.
Cine, you are correct - the explicit objective of the Smartsheet API (as is with most APIs) is to provide access to and facilitate management of Smartsheet data and properties. The API has no knowledge of other products and services - nor it should.
The Smartsheet connectors for Zapier, Azuqua, itduzzit and other similar "API orchestration" services allow users to create triggers on various Smartsheet events, like new rows or row updates... or take an action based on another event (e.g., create a new row or update an existing row).
In addition, we are in the process of developing webhooks (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook and http://resthooks.org/) and plan to make these available later this year. Through webhooks you will be able to subscribe to notifications on Smartsheet events, like new rows, sheets, discussions, etc.

I am trying to build a simple web form that would ideally sit on a WordPress page to allow the subscribers on our platform to change or update their subscriptions, without having to ask our support team (currently they can only cancel, but we want to offer them the option to upgrade).
We use Recurly to manage our billing, and their support team said:
'You would essentially want to build a form that will input values into the Subscription Update API request, that would then be sent to Recurly to make the changes on your customer account.'
They also shared the following document: https://dev.recurly.com/docs/update-subscription
I have limited experience of working with APIs and am also aware that because this form deals with sensitive information (the user ID of a subscriber in this case), I don't want to inadvertently jeopardise the accounts of the subscribers that choose to do this.
Any help would be much appreciated. I have tried searching for a solution but am unsure how to word my request effectively.
It sounds like using the Recurly Hosted UI might be your best bet. Instead of having to build a a web form you can just redirect your customer to the Recurly Hosted UI on a button click. You can retrieve and redirect the url using the Recurly API on your Wordpress site using some simple PHP and then that allows the customer to view invoices, change their plan (if you allow), and change CC information.
Do we have webhook available for SAP successfactor?
Do we have any webhook available where I can get the notification if any operation happened in the entity like any object is inserted in the entity then I will get notification?
Yes, it is an inplace functionality called Intelligent Services (can be found in Successfactors within transaction "Intelligent Service Center (ISC)".
There you can subscribe to different events (only the one's provided in the standard, no custom hooks possible). The subscription results in an integration center flow, where data can be passed via different protocolls to a webservice of your choice.
You can also configure a "business rule" with an intelligent service as a starting point.
I am creating a facebook chatbot and i can get different kinds of JSON format for persistent menu, quick replies and simple messages. Is there any way that i can differentiate what functionality (i.e. either persistent menu, quick reply, button template) is triggering the webhook call?
Here is the list of actions, that can trigger webhook by the date 10th Sept 2017. You can differentiate the calls by parsing JSON format. Each one has its own structure encapsulated with a general structure.

I am unable to find a way to move rows between sheets in Smartsheet via API. There is a move row command in Smartsheet which moves the row data and preserves all attachments and discussions. Is this available through API?
Thanks,
"Move Row(s)" capability is not available in the current version of the Smartsheet API (1.1). However, the next version of the Smartsheet API (2.0) -- which is scheduled for release later this month -- will include the ability to move row(s) from one sheet to another.
If you haven't already subscribed to the Smartsheet Developer Newsletter, you can do so here: https://www.smartsheet.com/developers (via the "Get Developer Updates" form in the bottom-right area of the page). We'll be notifying subscribers via email when API 2.0 is available.
I'm wondering how to create new reminders via the Java Smartsheet API. I haven't been able to find anything related to that. I thought it might be in the Row or RowResources class. Here is a quote from the launch of the API claiming that it can be done:
"Use the API to automatically trigger events in Smartsheet. Automatically create project sheets or tasks, update and share
data, or send reminders."
Has anyone successfully done this?
The Smartsheet API does not currently support creating Alerts (i.e., reminders & notifications). (Apologies for the confusion -- I've updated the blog post you quoted to remove the reference to Reminders.)
