  title: Azure Web PubSub Broadcast to Group if Active
  summary: Only broadcast to a group when it currently has connected members.
  description: >-
    A conditional fan-out pattern: the app server checks whether a group has any
    live connections before broadcasting, avoiding a wasted send to an empty
    group. When the group is active a message is broadcast to all of its members;
    when it is empty 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.
