Import File from Azure to BC

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Johnson_Patrick 102

I have a requirement where in a Job in BC should monitor the Azure File path and pick any XML files placed in there and import into the Planning Worksheet. 

I am right now analyzing all the possible scenarios on how to proceed with the development. Any suggestions or inputs on how to kick start would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance

    Basically you can use two different approaches for this. You can either use Power Automate and Business Central API's combined or use the Azure blob storage support available in AL.

    The upside of using Power Automate is that you have Power Automate triggers already in place that can fire when they detect a new file. Are you using AL you will have to use a timer trigger, that means you will run your code more often than actually needed.
