Xano’s recent introduction of inbound (server) WebSocket support has been a great addition, but it would be incredibly valuable to also enable outbound (client) WebSocket connections. This functionality would allow Xano to directly initiate connections to external WebSocket endpoints, opening up new integration possibilities.
Our CRM, for example, pushes real-time updates via a WebSocket endpoint. Without native outbound support, we can’t directly subscribe to these updates within Xano, limiting our ability to react and process this data in real-time.
It’s worth noting that Supabase added support for outbound WebSocket connections recently, demonstrating the demand and benefit for this capability. Expanding Xano’s WebSocket functionality to include outbound connections would significantly enhance its flexibility and utility for real-time integrations.
