Discussions
To integrate Azure Table Storage with other cloud vendors for notifications, you can use Azure Functions or Logic Apps to trigger events based on changes in the table storage. These services can then send notifications to other cloud services using webhooks, APIs, or connectors specific to the target cloud vendor.
