Sharepoint webhook vs. Azure function. What to use when?
I would personally pick the 2nd option if it can fulfill the requirements as it's a much simpler setup in my opinion. This is particularly true in the long term, as if someone else needs to look into your solution and maintain it.
Joel Rodrigues Indeed, that's what I would prefer.
Btw Andrew Connell, I saw a response from you in my mail but it's not in this thread anymore. I do have a question though. Do you mean to use an Azure function without Flow?

I think it really depends what you want to do.

Deleted By default I try to avoid custom code in SharePoint as much as possible. However, sometimes you do not have any other options. So if I NEED to use custom code I think the Flow/Functions option will be my way to go. Have it in small "parts" so easy to maintain by others. For example in a current scenario I need to copy a listitems from a subsites to a list at site-collection level. Nothing too special but I need the "new-item" trigger.
