How do I trigger a function (secured at Authorization.Admin level) from Application Insights?

Question

Hi!

I've written a function that is triggered as part of an alert/action group in Application Insights. I've secured this function at Admin level with a Host key. How do I pass the Host key to Application Insights so that it is allowed to trigger the secured function?

Thanks!

When you configure Function in the Action Group, Azure would take care of calling the Function with required key automatically when the action group is triggered from an alert. For example, below is my sample alert execution which triggered an action group calling a Function protected at Admin level. But do let me know if you are facing any issue in your case.
