Silent import of file into a Business Central SaaS table

I have a working XmlPort that imports a CSV file into a custom table. At the moment it's called manually via a Page Action. A dialog appears and the user selects the file to be imported and clicks OK. Now, we want to remove the human intervention, drop the CSV file into a folder and call the XmlPort from a Job Queue. Presumably, the aforementioned folder will need to be cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive etc...) as SaaS doesn't have access to a local filesystem? How can this be done using AL?

    Hi, here is a simple example of using Power Automate. You can also customize other APIs.
    How to automatically upload files from OneDrive to Business Central with Power Automate (No customization)
     
    The biggest problem when using AL is that you need to be able to access your data. For example, on OneDrive, you may use the Graph API. As long as it is accessible, you can set it in the Job Queue and let it run regularly.
     
    Hope this can give you some hints.
    Thanks.

    I followed your procedure and on completion it reported:
     
    This flow was turned off because the owner didn't have a premium license. Use the flow checker to get it running again.

    Your premium flows are turned off. Purchase, extend, or renew a Power Automate license or submit a request to your admin.
     
    Do you really need a premium licence, just to prove a concept?
