Azure Event Grid - Creating a Topic

This post is part of a three post series on Azure Event Grid

Part 1 - Azure Event Grid - Introduction

Part 2 - Azure Event Grid - Create Topics

Part 3 - Azure Event Grid - Creating Custom events

To get started with Azure Event grid we need to create three primary elements as described previously. We need to create a Topic, a subscription and an Event handler .

Creating the Topic - On Azure portal use the create resource option to create an Event Grid topic as shown below. I have created a topic and named it as CandidateTopic. I have specified the resource group , the location and the event schema.

Creating the Subscription - The topic is now created but as you can see below the topic needs a subscription in order for it to deliver events.

Creating the Handler - I have created a subscription and have used a Web hook as the handler for the subscription as seen below. The web hook is a custom API that i created to be called by the subscription.
