You cannot directly call .NET DLLs from al codeunit or extensions, because Saas service doesn't allow you to use local resources.

So you have to call Dlls from azure function. In the link above, it shows how to integrate a DLL in azure functions and call it with Al language.

This is a very useful video to follow

https://demiliani.com/2019/10/31/azure-functions-for-dynamics-365-business-central-developers-webcast-recording/

Basically, you have to move your own code into Azure Functions (AF). You do not need, then, to declare anything in your BC object but you have to call an external URL that is the endpoint that exposes the signature of your functions. You have then to use HttpClient to perform the call.

No. You have to create everything from scratch your own, unfortunately.

I think you have to search if there are existing events that you could subscribe for, otherwise you have to wrap up everything externally within your azure function.

My best suggestion is to have the hands dirty with AF, first, to understand pro and cons and how far you could go with these.
