Sync data to db using plugins

Posted on by 615

Hi everyone,

i am planning to build a solution in crm online, and i need to sync some data from crm to a db (probably a cosmos db) on the same azure machine

i know that plugins on crm online have some limitations.

can i use azure functions in order to achieve this goal?


did you have ever tried his solution?
do you have better ways to do that? (also in terms of azure costs)

i need to syncronize this data syncronously (and must be extremely performant)

thank you very much.

    It's really very easy using Flow. You'll save a lot of time during implementation. After AF also remains a solution that will work. Depends if you're good at code.

    Good luck !

    ok, but this seems way more complicated.

    i prefer to know if someone has experience with the azure functions

    as explained in this article for example:
