PubNub's Events & Actions is Now Generally Available

3 min readKeith Lindsay on Feb 22, 2023

PubNub is excited to announce that Events & Actions is now generally available! Events & Actions (E&A) is a new feature that addresses the challenge of capturing and reacting to critical events generated by users interacting in real time.

Chat messages, purchases, location data, and even emojis create millions of tiny events that are often treated as transient data and immediately get lost or ignored due to the cost and complexity of processing them.

Events & Actions is a way to capture some of these events and route them to third-party systems for storage, processing, data analysis, and more.

Easily capture important real-time data

Events & Actions extends the PubNub platform with powerful new real-time integration and event routing.

Here are some examples of where E&A can enhance your application:
