Is Power Automate appropriate for CRUD operations to 3rd party fulfillment systems via a custom connector?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

The use is the following:

1. We have a CRM order, which is a simple Order Header and 4 line items from the Product Catalog.  It is about a 6 KB message

2. We have a 3rd Party Public API (Json or XML) that I plan to wrap in a custom connector.  There are two methods, 1. sendapplication and 2. updateapplication

3. We plan to use the connector to process roughly 20 applications/day with 500 updates to the applications per day

My question is what is the cost in processing time and compute time?   And MORE IMPORTANTLY if I scale by 20X  (200 Applications per day and 10000 updates) will Powerautomate fail?  I am told the power automate is NOT the appropriate use of this Order to "Settlement" flow.  That it should be done with traditional code based integration tools (Azure Functions and API Manager).   What does the community think?
