Anyone using Node-Red in combination with Office365 ?
Hi Stefan,
Yes we use Node-Red quite extensively with Office365, Flow and PowerApps.
Flow is awesome and extremely easy to use, but it happens from time to time that you need to run an on premises instance workflow and Node-Red is very good at this. It is not as easy to use as Flow is, but it is very expandable without additional costs.
We did a project recently where we needed PowerApps to RX data in a MongoDB (not Cosmos DB, Mongo) and we used Node-Red and agilite.io for this. The solution is amazing and PowerApps is a great front end for the solution. The MongoDB, Node-Red and Agilit-e instances are on premises so although Flow can interact with the solution (and is used as an API proxy to give external parties access to the system), to just use Flow for this would not have been an option for this particular solution.
Node-Red is also great for IOT and I recently saw some guys using it with Azure IOT Hub.
I also saw some videos from Agilit-e where Node-Red is used in conjunction with the MS Bot framework and it works great.
Would be great to hear what you have been using Node-Red for on O365\Azure\Power Platform?
