Creating event-based triggers

Often, it is convenient to run a data movement pipeline in response to an event. One of the most common scenarios is triggering a pipeline run in response to the addition or deletion of blobs in a monitored storage account. Azure Data Factory supports this functionality.In this recipe, we shall create an event-based trigger that will invoke a pipeline whenever new backup files are added to a monitored folder. The pipeline will move backup files to another folder.

Getting ready
