Connecting to MS Power Automate Flow from a Web Application

It is a very trivial scenario that we would want to create a Common Data Service entity record from a web page. An example can be a contact us page or request for help that would create a lead or a case in Microsoft Dynamics backend. Although Dynamics Portals (and now Power Apps Portals) are available for this kind of integration, many organizations still use other types of web applications and they need to integrate with the Common Data Service, such as various web to lead products.

Integrate CDS and SQL Server with Power Automate and On-Premise Data Gateway

In a recent blog I posted a few days ago, I posted how to use Azure Service Bus and a Listener application to integrate between the Common Data Service (Dynamics 365 or Power Apps Model Driven Application) and an On Premise SQL Service database. As mentioned that there are a few easier ways to implement this, I wanted to demonstrate how easy it would be to perform similar functionality using a Microsoft Power Automate Flow that connects to the On-Premise Data Gateway

Eventbrite to CDS Integration – Part 1

In this series of posts, I will demonstrate how to integrate between Eventbrite and the Power Platform by creating a Model Driven App to store event information, Creation of Microsoft Flow to execute when a new event is created or a new order is added to an event in Eventbrite, and the creation of a Custom Connector to retrieve the event details from Eventbrite.

Eventbrite to CDS Integration – Part 2 (Eventbrite Settings)

In the second post will concentrate on the configuration of Eventbrite. We assume that you have already an Eventbrite account and you can create your own events. If you don’t have an Eventbrite account yet, this is the time to create one. You only need an email address and to set a password in order to create an Eventbrite account. Eventbrite is available as a free or paid service. Everything in this series of posts was done using the free Eventbrite account.

Eventbrite to CDS Integration – Part 3 (Custom Connector)

In the third post will create our custom connector in order to connect with Eventbrite. The custom connector will allow us to call the Eventbrite api to retrieve the required information about the Events and the Attendees that have not been provided by the Webhook.

Eventbrite to CDS Integration – Part 4 (Event Flow)

In this fourth post we will update the original flow that we created for when a new event is created in Eventbrite. The flow should have a couple of steps as the baseline. The steps include When a HTTP request is received, and the Initialize Variable action.

Eventbrite to CDS Integration – Part 5 (Attendee Flow)

In this fifth post we will update the original flow that we created for when a new attendee is registered in Eventbrite. Your flow should have a couple of steps as the baseline. The steps include When a HTTP request is received, and the Initialize Variable action.

Using Flow to get the country of a website visitor

There are many tools for tracking visitors and page views to web sites, but in certain circumstances this might be something that you would want to implement on your own. It is simple enough to get the IP address of the visitor of the web site, but usually in order to get the country we need to call some sort of API. There are various API provides that can give you this information, and in the case of this blog post, I selected a provide called ipgeolocation (ipgeolocation.io).

Generate Document Templates in CDS using Flow

One of the features in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (and some of the previous versions has been document templates). I wanted to validate some of the logic, if we can automate the creation of a document and sending it as an email using Microsoft Flow, and of course Flow did not fail to perform.
