### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/azure/guide/events) # Azure - Events Simply put, events are the things that trigger your functions to run. If you are using Azure Functions as your provider, all `events` in the service are anything in Azure Functions that can trigger your Functions, like HTTP endpoints, message queues, blob updates, and cron-scheduled events. In Azure Functions, events are called "Triggers" and are defined as a binding. You can also set additional input and output bindings which make it easy to get data from table storage or send message to queue services, for example. [View the Azure Functions events section for a list of supported events](../events) Upon deployment, the framework will set up the Triggers and Rules that correspond to that event and configure your `function` to listen to it. ## Configuration Events belong to each Function and can be found in the `events` property in `serverless.yml`. ```yml # 'functions' in serverless.yml functions: createUser: # Function name handler: handler.createUser # Reference to file handler.js & exported function 'createUser' events: # All events associated with this function - http: true ``` The events property is an array, in this case, because I can also use it do define my input and output bindings. ```yml queuejs: handler: templates/handler.helloQueue events: - queue: YourQueueName x-azure-settings: connection: StorageAppSettingName - blob: x-azure-settings: name: bindingName direction: in ``` ## Types The Serverless Framework supports all of the Azure Functions events and more. Instead of listing them here, we've put them in a separate section, since they have a lot of configurations and functionality. [Check out the events section for more information.](../events) ## Deploying To deploy or update your Functions, Events and Routes, run `serverless deploy`.
