Event Grid is an Azure service that sends HTTP requests to notify you about events that happen in publishers. A publisher is the service or resource that originates the event. For example, an Azure blob storage account is a publisher, and a blob upload or deletion is an event. Some Azure services have built-in support for publishing events to Event Grid.
Event handlers receive and process events. Azure Functions is one of several Azure services that have built-in support for handling Event Grid events. Functions provides an Event Grid trigger, which invokes a function when an event is received from Event Grid. A similar output binding can be used to send events from your function to an Event Grid custom topic.
You can also use an HTTP trigger to handle Event Grid Events. To learn more, see Receive events to an HTTP endpoint. We recommend using the Event Grid trigger over HTTP trigger.
