The best way to learn about a new technology is to use it, and with that, I took a look at the Deepseek API to see what it could do. Here’s the thing: I’m not an AI expert, and I’m working to figure out all the ins and outs of working with AI, but throwing … Read More

TypeScript and Powerapps – Part 2 – Xrm Interactions
If I were to write everything out on integrating TypeScript and PowerApps in one post, it would drag on forever, and I’m not too keen on that. That said, I don’t know how many parts there are going to be to this implementation, and am going where it takes me. Using the client-side code in … Read More
PowerApp Plans
For months, I’ve logged into PowerApps and seen this “Let’s Make a Plan” thing and thought that it must just be some kind of Task App. The other day, I took a closer look at it and was blown away by what it could do out of the box. If you are a CRM/PowerApps Developer … Read More
TypeScript and Powerapps – Part 1
I’ve been working with TypeScript and Powerapps for quite a bit, but never built up the system myself from scratch, and wanted to take a shot at it. I’m surprised when I hear people scoff at this idea since it can ease your workload substantially, reducing bugs and complexity in code. To get started, how … Read More
Identifying Form Security Ownership in PowerApps
When approaching what I consider to be a pretty straightforward problem, I always think to myself, “I can’t be the first one to have had this issue.” Not only that, on the day of AI, when I think a task should take minutes, I actually spend hours trying to figure it out. Case in point, … Read More

When I was starting to work with the JIRA Webhooks, one problem I started to run into was understanding what some of the fields actually were. I vaguely remembered this from my years on customizing JIRA, where all fields are given a very unique field name because the level of customization is so extensive. Case … Read More
Creating WebHooks with JIRA
Similar to the posts I’ve written about creating Webhooks for AzureDevOps and Git, you can do the same for Jira. To get started, you need to navigate to System Settings and then down to Webhooks. The amount of information and events that you can extract from JIRA is quite significant. In the below screenshot, I … Read More
Retrieving Historical Data with the GIT API
We previously looked at retrieving data from GIT using a webhook to get real-time events, but if your primary goal is to only retrieve data from a particular point in time or in a batch fashion, doing so via their REST API might be more useful to you. The Setup Before starting, you are going … Read More
Creating WebHooks with GIT
Similar to Azure DevOps, you can set up a WebHook in GIT to collect data when changes are made to the system. Webhooks in GIT are not global and apply to each project you configure them on. Configuring Your Webhook To start, you create your HTTP “listener” URL and add that to GIT. It’s important … Read More
Connecting to Azure DevOps using the Wiql API
Sometimes you are going to want to retrieve work items from your Azure DevOps Organization, maybe to perform some complex functions that you can’t do inside of DevOps. Maybe it’s merging data between different projects, comparing who did what work across different organizations, etc, etc. Whatever the reason, you’re going to want to get that … Read More
