🚀 What You Will Learn

We start by exposing the common frustrations of standard connectors, from missing custom fields to restricted filtering. You will learn how to navigate the complex world of Dynamics 365 APIs, including how to find hidden endpoints using tools like Postman and Fiddler. We also cover the critical aspects of security, showing you how to use Azure AD and service principals to keep your data safe while following the principle of least privilege.
