Edge Function Guide

EasySite Edge Functions let you run small pieces of custom code on servers that turn your website features into APIs, allowing external tools to interact with your site and access backend data through simple prompts. They act as bridges to connect your website with external services like CRM systems and email marketing platforms, handle webhooks, synchronize data, and create custom API endpoints—essentially making your website "talk" to other tools without complex technical setup.

Step 1. Navigate to the Edge Functions tab from your Project​

In your project panel, click the "Settings" button, then select "Edge Function" from the left-hand menu on the Settings page.

Step 2. Create your first Edge Function​

Click the "+ Create Function" button at the top. On the new page, provide a function name and a short description, select "Anonymous Access" to skip authorization for this sample public API, and then click "Create Function." Your first Edge Function will now appear on this page.

Step 3. Customize your function to Access the public API​

Click your Edge Function, then in the function panel, open the "Code Editor" tab and click the "AI Generate" button. A text box will appear where you can enter a prompt to access the public API.
