Hi everyone,
I'm working on setting up a Power Automate flow to monitor and notify about any changes in the structure of any Dataverse tables within an environment. Specifically, I need the flow to detect changes such as:
Hi @Siva_Kumar_M
Through Power Automate you cannot achieve this with existing connectors. The dataverse connector is against tables and data, but not against the structure. What you are asking for is a Power Apps GIT at the table level, and I have not seen that until today
You would have to see if you can achieve this functionality with the SDK.
It seems you are looking for versioning control of the environment.
Is this environment managed? If you could look at this in the source control and compare it with a Pull Request?
If you decided to use the Power Automate to retrieve the metadata you would still need to save a snapshot somewhere to be able to compete it later.
Thanks for the suggestion @Jmanriquerios and @gabrieljunckes.@Jmanriquerios What's your thoughts on the possibility of achieving this requirement.
With Power Automate very complicated, because when you delete a table how do you get that information, you would have to create a version. In the end you are looking for a version manager and until today I do not know it at the dataverse level, different for web resources, plugins that are introduced within a solution that you can use a version manager.
I have a similar requirement to this but in the context of a solution deployed to another environment via Power Platform Pipelines
Is the only option to run post deployment checks: use GitHub actions via a power automate to unpack the (unmanaged) solution.zip and somehow interrogate the various entity.xml files and, or role files (my basic user. xml) . Note we use Azure DevOps to manage our repos.
With some column structure changes, such as column type changes you need a early warning to compare table columns in source and target environments, as some changes seems to break the deployment.
