Azure Database for MySQL triggers for Azure Functions (Public Preview)
Developers can now accelerate development time and focus only on the core business logic of their applications, for developing event-driven applications with Azure Database for MySQL as the backend data store. We are excited to announce that you can now invoke an Azure Function based on changes to an Azure Database for MySQL table. This new capability is made possible through the Azure Database for MySQL triggers for Azure Functions, now available in public preview. Azure Database for MySQL triggers The Azure Database for MySQL trigger uses change tracking functionality to monitor a MySQL table for changes and trigger a function when a row is created, updated, or deleted enabling customers to build highly-scalable event-driven applications. Similar to the Azure Database for MySQL Input and Output bindings for Azure Functions, a connection string for the MySQL database is stored in the application settings of the Azure Function to trigger the function when a change is detected on the tables. Note: In public preview, Azure Database for MySQL triggers for Azure Functions are available only for dedicated and premium plan of Azure Functions To enable change tracking on an existing Azure Database for MySQL table to use trigger bindings for an Azure Function, it is necessary to alter the table structure, for example, enabling change tracking on an employees data table: ALTER TABLE employees ADD COLUMN az_func_updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP; Azure Database for MySQL trigger uses the 'az_func_updated_at' and column's data to monitor the table for any changes on which change tracking is enabled. Changes are then processed in the order that they were made, with the oldest changes being processed first. Important: If changes to multiple rows are made at once, then the exact order they're sent to the function is determined on the ascending order of the az_func_updated_at and the primary key columns. If multiple changes are made to a row in-between an iteration, then only the latest changes for that particular rows are considered. The following example demonstrates a C# function that is triggered when changes occur in the employees table. The MySQL trigger uses attributes for the table name and the connection string. using System.Collections.Generic; using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs; using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.MySql; using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging; namespace EmployeeSample.Function { public static class EmployeesTrigger { [FunctionName(nameof(EmployeesTrigger))] public static void Run( [MySqlTrigger("Employees", "MySqlConnectionString")] IReadOnlyList<MySqlChange<Employee>> changes, ILogger logger) { foreach (MySqlChange<Employee> change in changes) { Employee employee= change. Item; logger.LogInformation($"Change operation: {change.Operation}"); logger.LogInformation($"EmployeeId: {employee.employeeId}, FirstName: {employee.FirstName}, LastName: {employee.LastName}, Company: {employee. Company}, Department: {employee. Department}, Role: {employee. Role}"); } } } } Join the preview and share your feedback! We are eager for you to try out the new Azure Database for MySQL triggers for Azure Functions and build highly scalable event-driven and serverless applications.

Create a flow to trigger on a column change
Hello, Could someone please share how to create the following (Power automate) flow : 1. Given folder with files 2. It has custom column "Assigned To", type "Person or Group" 3. When value is set to this field per file need to send an Outlook notification (or any other action) It is similar in functionality to "Rules" notify on column change (screenshot below), but because it is requires a custom e-mail template, this "Rule" can't be used as-is. I've tried steps to retrieve the file metadata and similar ones, but wasn't able to select this specific property "Assigned To" and for any file in a folder (not for certain file, that hardcoded in a step).
Powerautomate - Bookings Triggers Failing - "The response is not in a JSON format."
I was very excited to see the new Powerautomate connectors for MS Bookings, however, they appear to be unusable as every run I tried failed with the error message "The response is not in a JSON format." Maybe I'm missing a step or workaround please let me know if this is the case.
SharePoint list flow that triggers an email every time an item is modify (even the same item)
I created a PowerApps that creates/updates a SharePoint list with several columns (name, email address, date, time, yes/no, multiple choices, and single lines. I need the flow to send a confirmation when a new item is created (this flow is working fine). I need an email to go out when an item is modified (status changes from New to Support assigned and technicians email address is added. as soon as the email goes out the Yes/No column to update to yes from default NO. The current flow send the email when the status changed from new to support assigned, but keeps sending email every time I change the status from support assigned to any other status (pending, completed and cancelled). I still don't know how to update the Yes/No column (I am doing it manually). I need help desperately as this is my first time working with PowerApps and automation flows. Please Help!!!
