Extend site scripts to launch Azure Functions or Logic apps instead of Flow? #30

Site scripts can call a Power Automate flow to customize processes in the background. I saw many customers using this capability to apply governance rules to provisioned SharePoint Online sites.

The recent Power Automate licensing changes move important connectors from standard to premium, making such implementation scenarios costly.

In many situations I saw that Power Automate was just called to perform an HTTP call to some Azure Functions or Logic apps. Therefore, I am wondering if there are some plans to allow site scripts to call such type of resources without calling Power Automate before. This might allow customers implementing governance solutions to keep the current architectures without the need of investing in additional licenses.

Otherwise, I am worried that this type of solution will be used less due to this issue.

Thank you for your feedback, Patrick

I just learned that you can also use a Logic App URL in the same way you are using a Flow URL. From the Logic App, you could start running whatever you want without the need to explicitly license the Power Automate flow to premium
