I'd like to have a programmatic way of getting a notification of when Microsoft 365 has a pending update. I know that I can search for it online or look for it in the File menu item in an Office app, but I'd much rather have a notification that grabs my attention.
The reason is that I have noticed when an M365 update is pending things seem to break. The latest was that cloud drives stopped syncing. If I knew there was a pending update, then I would go ahead and reboot and all would be fine. But, without any notification, I don't know that it's pending, and I end up with the problem I had this weekend where I relied on the file to be synced so I could use it at another location and it wasn't there.
I was directed to Power Automate as a possible solution from the general Microsoft Answers community. Anyone know of a way to do this? Also, I'm not averse to doing something in PowerShell, if that works better.
Thanks,
John

While you can use Power Automate, it is a much better idea to use the Azure alerting mechanisms for this. This is out of my area of expertise, but I know it is a better option.
To do this in Power Automate, you'll need to make an HTTP call the Graph which is a premium connector. Logic Apps is also a better option.
