I wrote a post a while ago about how to set up, build, and run Node.js Azure Functions manually from your desktop. And while it was a nice “Getting Started”, no one wants to do anything manually, and nothing looks cool when done manually. This follow is focused on automating the deployment of your Node.js … Read More
Using AI Builder with PowerAutomate for Sentiment Analysis and Text Extraction
Like learning anything new, you look at it and you go – “huh, I wonder how that works” and then you dig in and see what it does. Such is the case where I was looking at the AI Builder in Power Automate the other day, started playing around with it, and then went deeper … Read More
Pull Requests with GIT Connections and PowerApps
I did a post a few months ago on Getting Started with GIT Connections and PowerApps, and when I was demoing this functionality to some users, the question came up regarding editing data from the GIT repository back to PowerApps (or was this only a one way highway). In this scenario, I navigated to my … Read More
TypeScript and Powerapps – Part 3 – Deploying Files
In our first two parts on implementing TypeScript in PowerApps, each class we created had its own JavaScript file that was rendered as a web resource for us to upload into PowerApps. Even testing this out with two entities (contact and account), this is a pain and prone to errors. To get around this we … Read More
Using the DeepSeek API
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
Accessing Custom Fields with JIRA Webhooks
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
