Channels Actions

Actions enable real-time communication through HTTP requests.

  • They are usually triggered by an event, such as a comment being posted on a blog.
  • When the event occurs, the source site sends an HTTP request to the configured action URL.
  • Users can configure actions to trigger behaviors across different sites.
  • Each action requires a unique API key to separate API calls from each other.
