Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I all, 

 

I'm creating a canvas app that permit to create quote lines in the Dynamics 365 Business Central application. 

I've added the Business Central connector on my canvas app to get the items as we can see below :

What i need now is to get the picture of the selected product. This picture is visible on the Business Central solution as we can see here :

How can i get this picture to store on the image control of my selected item via PowerApps ? 

 

Many thanks

 

Best regards,

    I've finally found a way to get the content of the picture via a Power Automate that do a HTTP get request. 

     

    Here's the http method

    GET https://{businesscentralPrefix}/api/beta/companies(companyId)/items(itemId)/picture(itemId)/content

     

    It givings me a content ID very long ! 

    What can i do now to format it into base 64 ?

    I've finally found a way. 

    Via Power Automate, i do an HTTP GET request to get the content of the item picture.

    This content is returned to my app as a response from Power Automate. 

     

    Then in the image control i'm doing the following in the image property : 

    "data:image/jpeg;base64,"&getBCImgContent.imgcontent

     

    getBCImgContent is the variable that contain the PowerAutomate run 

    imgcontent is the variable that contain the result given by the Power Automate 

     

     

    Best regards,
