Service hook subscriptions

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

Looking for REST APIS that support TFS 2018 or later versions? See the Azure DevOps REST API Reference.

api-version = 1.0

A service hooks subscription defines the action to perform on a consumer service when an event occurs in a project. For example, a subscription can cause a card to be created on a Trello board when a work item is created.

If you haven't already, look at the information on getting started with these APIs.
