Hello,
There are various event based functionalities available in D365, can you please share - Which scenario I should use Plugin, workflow, BPF, Power Automate and Azure function?
Thanks,
Hi Partner,
1.BPF provides are different from other processes.
It is one guide for users to lead them through their work and is visualized to user by UI, it requires user to interact and users are responsible for their action.
However, other process does not visualize to user, and they can achieve users' goals automatically without the user having to do it manually.
2.Plugin, workflow, Power Automate and Azure function
Plugin and Azure function are suitable in scenarios where the business logic is very complex as well as requiring users with extensive development experience and competence.
Workflow and Power Automate are more user-friendly, with many OOB actions available to users straight away.
You can refer to the link for more detailed information on the differences:
(1) Workflow VS Power Automate
Only Power Automate can stretch across many web-based services or applications at the same time. But Workflows are limited to Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM applications.
However, with no Flow alternative to the real-time workflows.

(3) Plugin VS Azure function:
Azure functions have no depth like plugins do and are do not have maximum 2 minutes execute time like plugins.
