Photon Cloud, room properties?

I am having trouble understanding something.
Is it not possible to update room properties via webhooks?
If not, what exactly then is the use case for photon cloud vs photon server, as their appears to be no way to do any kind of server logic, and everything is client authorative?

Please correct me if I am wrong here.

Ultimately all I want to is have a client fire off a webhook to check if an item is available for them to “pick up” and if it is, flag it as no longer available if they do get it.
I’d prefer the server be able to determine this, not the client.
Is there an alternative to room properties that could be utilized for this, or do I need to run an actual server and cloud/webhooks are insufficient?

Thanks

    I think Photon Plugins is a good solution for you. Webhooks are an example of a Photon plugin.
