We have recently started to explore various tools over the Microsoft platform in terms of process management and automation. We have been able to develop the required apps and workflows but are finding difficulty in automatically recording its data in our on-premises database. Most of the time we need to apply automated conditions based on data and authorities defined in on-premises systems, so if there would be an easy mechanism to sync data to & between power automate and our on-premises system it will be great which also helps us to provide real-time analytics through our internal system.
