RestApi Webhooks to subscribe to events

Please, fill in the below fields to enable the processing of your idea.

Who would benefit?

Everyone building integrations

What impact would it make?

Extending the RestApi with responsive functionality

How should it work?

Using a series of RestApi endpoints one could:

1. Create new subscriptions

2. View existing subscriptions

3. View a list of events one can subscribe to

4. Delete subscriptions

These subscriptions of course would contain a url that is called by inRiver when the relevant event occurs in inRiver.

The url should be a POST method containing a payload of relevant data, whether it is a change to an entity, model, link, etc., etc..


Why is it needed?

Currently if we want to know if something has changed, we need to build a traditional extension to listen to a relevant event, OR we have to poll RestApi.

If we wish to build integrations by exclusively via RestApi, then there is no existing functionality to easily listen for events.


Additional feedback, background or context: Building integration with external systems using Azure cloud and RestApi functions. Currently we need to have Channel, Entity and Link listeners and a Scheduled Extension to listen to events and send a custom event to Azure cloud.
