Function

The function module is where the app's behavior is defined. Other modules specify the function module that defines the actions to take.

Properties

Property	Type	Required	Description
`key`	`string`	Yes	A key for the module, which other modules can refer to. Must be unique within the manifest and have a maximum of 23 characters. Regex: `^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$`
`handler`	`string`	Yes	A pointer to the function responsible for handling invocations. Expected format: `file.function` For example, `jira.issueCreationTrigger` calls the `issueCreationTrigger` function defined in `jira.js` in the app's `src` directory. Regex: `^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$`
`providers`	Providers		A list of the providers required by the function.
`timeoutSeconds` (EAP)	`integer`	No	A maximum timeout, in seconds, for a function that is always invoked as a `consumer` of an async event. If this parameter is not specified for a function that is used as an async event consumer, the function will timeout after the default 55 seconds. This parameter has no effect on functions that are not used as async event consumers. Range: 1-900

Property Type Required Description

Property	Type	Required	Description
`auth`	`List<ProviderReference\|string>`	Yes	A list of keys or objects referencing authentication providers. Using `requiredScopes` in the reference object also allows you to specify scopes that must be granted by the external provider before invocation. If any of these specified scopes are not granted, the request will trigger the OAuth 2.0 consent flow, and the actual function code will not be invoked. This provides a better performance over using requestCredentials in the code.
