New File (Webhook)

Triggers when Pinata fires the file_added webhook event. Pinata does not provide a public API for subscribing to webhooks, so you must add the webhook manually: open https://app.pinata.cloud/developers/webhooks, click Create Webhook, paste the Stepper webhook URL shown after you save this trigger, and enable the desired file_added event(s). Pinata uses Svix for delivery.
