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.
