PL 400 : create an Azure Function that interacts with Microsoft Power Platform (Publish and consume events)

Function App is the beautiful concept of Azure Service App where developers need to focus on the code or business logic and it also provides the ability to develop those code in multiple languages. If we analyze it carefully, we will find that it facilitates the separation of concerns along with the essence of the infrastructure. In Azure Functions, a function app provides execution context for different functions. The most important fact is that it provides logical unit which can work according to events or scheduler.

In the Microsoft Dataverse, Plugin is mechanism where developers can wire their custom code. those custom code runs under the event framework to run the specific events. Plugin is a .NET assembly that we can upload to the Microsoft Dataverse and can be registered to specific events within event framework. Function app can't be replace the plugin, but it can assist to offload the burden of custom code. Let us discuss about the features of both mechanisms to leverage according to business usages.
 

Write an Azure Function that processes Dataverse Events:

  • Write the Azure Function which contains the HTTP trigger and implement the Remote Execution context.
  • Build function and publish it to Azure.
  • Register a Dataverse webhook that call the new custom develop Azure function with help of plugin registration tool.
  • Register a new step with post operation a message

Power App Component Overview : Canvas App vs Model-Driven App

Image
The Power Platform is a suite of low-code/No-code tools and technologies developed by Microsoft and Power App is integral component of Power Platform. Power App is platform that enables users to build custom web and mobile applications with a visual interface and minimal coding. The platform support various data sources, including Microsoft 365, Azure Service, and many other, enabling users to integrate and interact with their existing data and systems. In Microsoft's Power Apps, there are two main types of apps that we can create: Canvas Apps: Canvas apps provide a blank canvas where you can design highly customizable applications with a drag-and-drop interface.  Model-Driven Apps: Model-driven apps are built on top of the Dataverse, which provides a set of pre-built data entities and business logic. There are few key technical difference between Canvas App and Model Driven App: During the usability analysis, these high-level technical differences need to be considered. The choi
