there is no direct method for this but you may have a workaround

you can use custom rules to trigger a function and in your function, you can call your API

Hi @Maximiliano Gibert ,

another workaround for your solution is to use a Data Export with a Data Transformation for your destination. This feature of the IoT Central allows to generate an event message based on the telemetry data, changes in the properties, etc.

For instance, based on the changes in the cloud property, the event message can be sent to the custom destination endpoint and/or to the Azure resource (for example, Azure Event Grid for Pub/Sub eventing).

Thanks
