Call a convex query from server worker with machine2machine auth/jwt - is that possible?
Hey all, super new here and trying out convex. I question about being able to call convex from an external server. I have some Cloudflare workers that run on schedules and these workers need to enrich an existing model in Convex on completion, but I am struggling to find any documentation about this (other than small paragraph about it https://docs.convex.dev/auth#service-authentication).
I am wondering if its possible to do this or do I need to make a secret that is verified in public url task.

hi! yes, a shared secret is the way to do this
you can set this shared secret in your convex deployment environment and just verify it in your mutations/queries the CF environment calls
all this goes over TLS, so it is secure
many convex projects do this
