Azure Functions

As part of Webhooks, it is possible to integrate with various systems.

Azure Functions provide event-driven serverless compute functions which allow users to easily run code whenever events are sent to it.

Azure App ID

The App ID of your Azure app

Function Name

the name of your Azure Function

Headers

Optionally allows you to provide a set of headers that will be included in all HTTP POST requests. You must use format "XCustom-Header-1:value1" for each header you add

Source

Choose which of channel.message, channel.presence, channel.lifecycle, or channel.occupancy events on channels should activate this event rule.

Request Mode

This will either be in Single Request mode or Batch Request mode. Single Request will send each event separately to the endpoint specified by the rule. Batch Request will send events triggered concurrently in the same request

Channel filter

An optional filter on channel name, to restrict the channels the rule applies to. Use a regular expression to match multiple channels.

Encoding

The encoding to be used by this rule. This can be either JSON or MsgPack

If the rule is in the Single Request mode, it will also have the following options:

Enveloped

If the rule has the Enveloped option set, then data delivered by this rule will be wrapped in an Ably envelope. Otherwise, the rule will send the raw payload

If the rule is in the Batch Request mode, it will have the following additional options:

Sign with key

Ably will optionally sign the data with the specified private key. This will be included as an HTTP header X-Ably-Signature in every HTTP post request issued to your server. See webhook security for more details.
