hi folks,  
how can i update other collections after update current one.  
i’m using VUE.js as client frontend and dont want to send many request to server update all other collections.  
I found web hooks section but there is no any example to follow.  
how can i do those actions like before\_insert or before\_update.is there any sample or guide to follow ?  
i was using directus before and using hook functions for it.check [here](https://docs.directus.io/extensions/hooks.html#reference)  
also what is at “cockpit\storage\collections\rules” folder and read,update etc files in it?  
can we use them to manipulate form data or they are just for view ?
