How does Forge send data to external service?

Priyanka sawant_syq7g4

I am building a connector using Forge app to connect my Application say ABC to connect to my Jira instance. Now if an issue is updated in JIRA, I can use webhooks to inform my forge App that something has changed. How do I inform my application ABC of the same change? any help is appreciated

Hi @Priyanka sawant ,

Your Forge function would have to act as an intermediary, receiving the wekbook notification and then making a request to the external service (e.g. using node fetch). 

You may also want to read the guide on content security and egress controls.

The Forge team are working new capabilities to improve this. This was discussed in RFC-8: Forge Remote.
