Plug-ins, Custom APIs, Webhooks or Service Bus? Choosing the Right Dataverse Extension

Awkward Silence Podcast
🤵🏻 Recorded live from a professional booth at the Power Platform Community Conference, Ed and Ashley joke about the awkwardness of being in the same room and discuss what they value most at conferences: access to Microsoft product team members and community networking that feels more personal than tech-focused. They share a story about product team feedback after a session on Plans and generative pages, then talk about PPCC moving from Las Vegas to Chicago next year after several years at the same Vegas venue. They also recap the new Makers Market experience, including early crowd and line issues that improved later, and a “human claw machine” activity with big prizes, where one host describes being strapped into a harness, flopping upside down, and grabbing a prize box.

👩💻 Welcome to Episode 440 of the Microsoft Cloud IT Pro Podcast. Recorded live at the North American Cloud and Collaboration Summit in Branson, Missouri, this MS Cloud on the Road conversation has Ben sitting down with Jay Leask of Microsoft and Microsoft MVP Norm Young. Norm turns host and asks what their work looked like before generative AI: hand-written PowerShell, manual conditional access reviews, and deliverables that took two weeks instead of 45 minutes thanks to transcripts and Copilot Cowork skills.

A lead-capture example shows how n8n reads and writes trusted business records, while shared Dataverse skills carry the same permissions and guardrails across coding tools.
Create and edit non-SPA Power Pages sites with agentic coding tools
👩💻 🦸🏻♀️ Neeraj Nandwana introduces preview support for creating and editing traditional Power Pages sites with web templates and Liquid through GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. The walkthrough covers template-based creation, local customization, and separately approved deployment without rewriting an existing site as a single-page application.
Work IQ: SharePoint tools
👩💻 🚀 Paolo Pialorsi and Patrick Rodgers demonstrate how agents discover SharePoint operations, inspect their schemas, and act on lists, files, and approvals through Work IQ. They explain the preview’s delegated read and act permissions, which keep every operation within the signed-in user’s existing access.
Your app needs documents. Do you really want to build a document platform?
👩💻 🧭 Steve Pucelik examines how a simple file-upload requirement grows into collaboration, permissions, search, recovery, and compliance infrastructure. He explains when SharePoint Embedded can supply those services inside the customer’s Microsoft 365 tenant so developers can focus on application workflows and business logic.
