On one of our recent projects, we had a requirement to only allow valid Tax Id Numbers on that field. There are various ways of implementing this, but as the direction seems to be to shift the development of these kind of features to custom controls, we decided to implement it as a PCF custom control.
There are many tools for tracking visitors and page views to web sites, but in certain circumstances this might be something that you would want to implement on your own. It is simple enough to get the IP address of the visitor of the web site, but usually in order to get the country we need to call some sort of API. There are various API provides that can give you this information, and in the case of this blog post, I selected a provide called ipgeolocation (ipgeolocation.io).
A little late in the game as Power Virtual Agent is already in Public Preview and trials are available, but I wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to create a bot, publish it and add it to your Power Apps Portal page.

One of the features in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (and some of the previous versions has been document templates). I wanted to validate some of the logic, if we can automate the creation of a document and sending it as an email using Microsoft Flow, and of course Flow did not fail to perform.

In many of the projects that I have worked over the past years, either government of private sector, while working with other businesses it has become a common practice to request that Industry information from the companies that you work with, and furthermore the NAICS code. While not every company knows their NAICS code, drilling down to get it using the Industry (2-digit code), Subsector (4-digit code) and NAICS title (6-digit code) might be the way to go, sometimes you might want to bypass this complex search if you know ahead of time your business’ NAICS code and have it auto populated for you.
As part of the 2019 October Release (Wave 2), Microsoft is introducing PowerApps Canvas App Components. Canvas App Components are reusable components that can be shared across multiple screens of your app, without the need to create or copy the component across the multiple screens. Create once, and use multiple times. Canvas App components can also be imported and exported, so that they can be used across multiple applications. This post will demonstrate how to create a simple component, add custom properties and use it from within your Canvas application
