Can webhooks be delivered straight to Azure Event Hubs?

I've read a lot of documentation on Azure about working with Shared Access Signatures, and I don't believe it's possible to have webhooks delivered straight to Evenhtubs. I believe an intermediate service like a an Azure Function or Logic App currently needs to act as a middleman.

Is it correct to say that the service generating the webhook would have to choose to implement the signing scheme used by Azure Shared Access Signatures for Eventhubs to receive such a webhook?

Furthermore, is there any Azure PAAS service such as document DB or Azure SQL which has an API authentication scheme which a fairly simple webhook could write directly to?

It's been awhile since this question was asked but I'll put the answer here for anyone who needs it.

Yes, you can have a webhook send directly to an Event Hub. The client needs to send a post request with the Shared Access Signature (SAS) in the Authorization header and data in the body.

Here is Microsoft's documentation on the process. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/eventhub/send-event
