Hi Alfredo ,I want to expose my Azure function endpoint to receive webhook requests. I wish to authenticate the incoming requests to the end point . I think this can be done using the authentication modules in flask?

Great question! You can definitely use Flask authentication modules. There are several ways you can do this. The simplest one would be to setup up a key-based authentication and let the function know with an environment variable. Have you read through this guide? learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/security-concepts?tabs=v4&WT.mc_id=academic-0000-alfredodeza
