What is the future for remote event receivers for SharePoint online?
We are migrating some applications from SharePoint 2019 to SharePoint online. The applications use remote event receivers using synchronous events. We can’t migrate to webhooks because they don’t support synchronous events. So, we are also migrating the remote event receivers to SharePoint online. They work fine against online. We are using ACS to connect to SharePoint. However, I was having a discussion on Github and Vesa mentioned that ACS will be deprecated. See the question here: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/issues/9235
We are now rebuilding the remote event receivers to use an Azure AD app. This also works for us.
I am wondering what is the future of remote event receivers in general? Will they stay supported for SharePoint online? Or should we rethink about our migration project.
- Currently what is used it Power Automate/Logic apps to replace ACS. But that depends on what you want to do
- Yes, we already use Power Platform (flows and SharePoint powerapps) for other sites. But we are currently migrating applications that require using synchronous events and complex logic already present in current remote event receivers. This is not possible with flows or webhooks
