Customer is using Moodle Learning Platform, where to design and provide different courses online. Need to integrate the Course and Registration details from Moodle to Dynamics 365 CE which they are already using.

Which is the best possible method to perform this integration?

Can we leverage on Power Automate or is there any API method to achieve the same?

of course you could leverage power automate to sync data from moodle to dataverse
using the moodel api API Guides | Moodle Developer Resources

or in case you could also try to use dataflows in case they offer a odata feed

Hello!

The best integration method between Moodle and Dynamics 365 CE will depend on the specific requirements, including:

Data Direction: Is the integration unidirectional (e.g., Moodle to Dynamics 365 CE) or bidirectional?

Data Scope: Are you syncing all course and registration details or just a subset?

Frequency: Is the data being updated in real-time, or is a periodic sync sufficient?

Complexity: Are there any data transformations or validations required?

Possible Integration Methods:

A. Power Automate
A quick and effective option if:

Use Power Automate to connect to Moodle via HTTP actions to consume its REST APIs. https://moodledev.io/docs/5.0/apis
The integration involves a small portion of data.
The data flow is straightforward (e.g., periodic syncing of courses or registrations).
Real-time updates are not critical.

Best for: Simple, low-volume integrations with minimal transformations.

B. API-Based Custom/Middleware Integration
The integration requires complex logic, transformations, or validations.
High volumes of data are involved, or real-time updates are needed.
Bidirectional synchronization is necessary.

Best for: High-complexity or large-scale integrations.

Use Moodle’s REST APIs to fetch and manage course/registration data.
Use Dynamics 365 CE’s Web API to create/update records in CRM.
Optionally, build middleware (Azure Function) to handle logic and data transformation.

Overall:

Start with a clear understanding of your requirements. For smaller, simpler integrations, Power Automate can handle the job effectively. However, for more complex or high-scale scenarios, an API-based custom integration would be the better approach.

Hi All,

Thanks for the suggestions.

My requirement is to just bring the Course and Enrollment details into D365. It can be unidirectional and doesnt need to be both ways.

I understand there is a API guide. But it is difficult to identify the APIs itself. No proper details or sample available.

I would definitely go for Power automate option only, given that the APIs are clear and known.

It will be helpful if i can get any steps or documentation on how to use atleast one API from moodle.

Thanks.
