Requirement to set up change notification on a specific folder in Sharepoint

I have a requirement to set up a change notification(webhook) on a specific folder in Sharepoint. As I've learned so far, SharePoint API does not support this function. And I want to know if Graph API supports it.

In the Graph API change notification document, I saw it support change notification on drive item.

And Items in SharePoint document libraries can be represented as listItem or driveItem resources.

So I want to confirm if it's possible for me to set up a change notification for a specific SharePoint document library folder using driveitem?

    Hi @Wei Zhang ,

    No, it's not supported to set up a notification for a specific SharePoint document library folder using driveitem. You would get this error when trying to create the subscription for the folder diveItem:

    And according to the documentation: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/webhooks?view=graph-rest-1.0

    Only driveItem on OneDrive for Business is supported to set up notifications. The supported resource paths are only:

     /drives/{id}/root  
    /users/{id}/drive/root
