Business Rules vs Power Automate vs Plugin: pick one
The article discusses the decision-making process for implementing business logic in Dataverse using Business Rules, Power Automate, and Plugins. Each option has its strengths and weaknesses depending on the specific requirements of a task. The author emphasizes the importance of choosing the right tool for the job to avoid complications and inefficiencies.
- ▪Business Rules are declarative and run client-side but cannot call external services.
- ▪Power Automate is asynchronous and can call any connector but has latency issues.
- ▪Plugins are custom code that runs server-side and are suitable for high-volume, low-latency scenarios.
