Capture and react to critical events
Easily capture important real-time data
React to important PubNub events
Events & Actions sifts through millions of PubNub events in real time and sends the relevant ones to your server or third-party services for processing.
Store real-time data outside of PubNub
Stream important real-time events, such as chat messages containing a specified keyword, from PubNub to external services for storage, analysis, or AI model training.
Save dev time with integrations
Easily create integrations with external services such as webhooks, AWS (S3, SQS, Kinesis), Kafka, RabbitMQ, and more through a no-code interface.
Use Cases
