Invoice/Webhook - When posting Invoices, be able to set a flag to stop the Webhook from sending the same data back
With Webhooks enabled, it is pointless to have the webhook send the same data back to us when we are posting the data to Xero.

The absence of the updatedDateUTC in the webhook message is problematic. At present we have to retrieve the webhook document and then check if we already have it as a result of an earlier api call, and not as a result of a user action in the UI.
We really need to have the ability to suppress a webhook message when interacting with the API, or alternatively have the updatedDateUTC published in the webhook content as well.

This is really important because at the moment its impossible to tell when receiving webhooks whether it was triggered by a change over the API or a change by a user in Xero.
We either need this flag or at least some indication in the webhook itself who/what made the change.
