  title: Azure Web PubSub Notify User if Online
  summary: Send a user a message only when they currently have at least one live connection.
  description: >-
    A presence-aware notification pattern: the app server checks whether a user
    has any connected sessions before sending, so an offline user is not targeted
    with a message that would silently drop. When the user is online a message is
    delivered to all of their connections; when offline the flow ends. Each step
    inlines its request — Authorization bearer header, required api-version query,
    the message body, and documented HEAD 200/404 and send 202 status codes.
