Prevent Automation Webhook Trigger on REST API Page Updates in Confluence

I'm working with Confluence automation and have set up a rule that sends a webhook whenever a page is updated.

Here’s the setup:
1-When a page is updated directly in Confluence (manually edited), the automation rule triggers correctly and sends the webhook with the updated content.

2-I also have a process where content is updated locally in another system and pushed to Confluence using the REST API. In this case, I don’t want the automation webhook to be triggered.

Problem:
Currently, the webhook is triggered even when the page is updated via the REST API. I want to restrict the webhook trigger to only manual edits made directly in Confluence. How can I differentiate between manual edits and REST API updates in automation rules, or prevent automation from triggering in case of API-based updates?

Any suggestions or best practices to handle this?
