I'm new to microsoft planner 365 and I think it's a great tool.
I do not want users to access my plan (board). Is there any way I can create an online form that can be shared to other users to allow them to submit requests and it adds tasks directly to a bucket category?
(Except using Power Automate?
using forms and Power Automate this can be setup in less than 5 minutes using the below template that is provided.
if you have reasons for not taking the simple approach, then of course you can build the same using a mirad of other tools and technologies.
As a final step then create the Task Using the Graph API

In our company we automated certain things for our customers:
Reporting, (counting Azure AD accounts, systems, mailboxes);
Create user (setting all permissions);
Create mailboxes;
managing tickets in ITSM;
Delete user .
We did use a lot of Powershell scripts and Azure Devops to automate these tasks. Now with the deprecation of basic authentication, we had to change our scripts and the way of authentication to all of our customers' Exchange Online. This made us think, is there a better way to set this up not to have these problems? We are already working with configfiles, modules, classes in our scripts.
What would be the best way to automate these tasks and not have the rework when Microsoft changes the authentication method?
Another question what would be a way to automate these tasks in low code?
The situation is that we make connection with the Azure Platform from our customers.
If you already work with modules and classes you should probably write a single "authentication" module/class that is then used in all of the subsequent scripts. If and when MS change the authentication method again - one only needs to change this one class that is called by every other script.
In terms of "low code" - it depends on what these tasks are doing.. but, one is able to use the Power Platform Office365 Connector and from there it is possible to query AAD. There is also the GraphAPI.
It really depends on your use case but the following link may be of some assistance with the "low code" question:

I've been trying to implement a way to download all the changes made by a particular user in salesforce using PowerShell script & create a package The changes could be anything whether it can be added or modified, Apex classes, profiles, Account, etc based on the modified by the user, component ID, timestamp, etc. below is the URL that exposes the API. The URL Does not explain any way to do this by using a script.
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_listmetadata.htm
Does anyone know how I can implement this?

Salesforce orgs other than scratch orgs do not currently provide source tracking, which makes it possible to pinpoint user changes in metadata and extract only those changes. This is done by an SFDX/Metadata API client, like Salesforce DX or CumulusCI (disclaimer: I'm on the CumulusCI team).
I would not try to implement a Metadata API client in PowerShell; instead, harness one of the existing tools to do so.
Salesforce orgs other than scratch orgs don't provide source tracking at present. To identify user changes, you can either
Attempt to extract all metadata and diff it against your version control, which is considerably harder than it sounds and is implemented by a variety of commercial DevOps tools for Salesforce (GearSet, Copado, etc).
Have the user manually add components to a Change Set or Unmanaged Package, and use a Metadata API client as above to retrieve the contents of that package. (Little-known fact, a Change Set can be retrieved as a package!)
To emphasize: DevOps on Salesforce does not work like other platforms. Working on the Metadata API requires a fair amount of time investment and specialization. Harness the existing work of the Salesforce community where you can, but be aware that the task you are laying out may be rather more involved than you think and it's not necessarily something you can just throw together from off-the-shelf components.
We are using VSTS Only and i am trying to figure out how can i report on changes made to Efforts in sprint backlog on daily basis. Burn down chart gives good insight but i want to get into what was changed. Also, i want to know what were if any new items added during the sprint(could be Bug etc).
I am managing fairly(18) large teams that are distributed across continents.
Also for reporting purpose since VSTS is not rolling up the totals from Tasks to Feature & Epic trying to find out what options do I have so that it is automated calculations?
You can use query to make daily report of effort, remaining work etc for the all backlog items or a certain sprint. Also you can send the query result as an email.
But for the daily changes, you need to manually compare with the day before.
I have used a spreadsheet connected to team services to load in the data. I then refresh the spreadsheet and analyze the data using pivot tables. For each period of time i want to save a manually I copy the data from the pivot tables for my comparisons. This is not a very clean solution but i have used it and it works.
Something I have not look into at any depth yet is PowerBI connected to team services. This looks like the data warehouse solution for Team Services. It looks promising. Please see - https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/powerbi/connect-vso-pbi-vs
You can refer to these steps to achieve your requirement:
Build a web app (e.g. Web API) to do with web hook data and store into your database
Create Web hooks for Work item created and update of required team projects to send the request to your web app
Add logical to build and send report to team members in your web app
I have a magento ecommerce web application want to sync my data from magento to salesforce and vice versa
I thought this would be as simple as collecting their salesforce.com credentials to open a connection to salesforce.com and pull down their customer,product and contact.
But it does not look that easy! For one, I cannot find a global API. Apparently, each salesforce.com company has to "generate" their own WSDLs .Don’t have much idea on rest api, where I don’t have to generate wsdl for each different company.
I have done lots of research on this could not find any proper solution Most of the vendors are using soap api where I need to follow same process that is every time I need to generate WSDLs for each company…
Each company is different that's why you need to generate a different structure.
I would recommend this solution: https://products.crunchyconsulting.com/crunchy-products/crunchy-magforce.html with some customizations available if you ask for it.
We are using Integration Manager to create a batch of monthly invoices. I want to build a replacement that creates a batch in GP and imports the invoices into the batch. After review, the batch will be posted to GP. Is this doable with either of these API's and which would you choose?
Integration manager can use econnect for its insertion engine. If you are processing a high volume of transactions, you will notice a huge difference between integration manager's UI engine and econnect. When you create a new integration, simply choose the econnect option and whatever data source you have set up.
Concerning the non-IM APIs, both may be used, and they are situational. The web services sits on top of econnect, and it is much slower integrating because you are passing information between several layers. It does provide a secure link between your SQL server and any outside integration sources, and it is ideal if you need to setup something to allow integrations to happen through middleware such as a billing gateway. If you have access to build an econnect process/app that makes a connection to your SQL server for GP, this is the fastest way to integrate SOP and receivable transactions. It maintains all the business rules to help ensure GP does not break in as a result of a patch, and the speed is fast enough to push thousands of records without requiring a custom integration solution.
If you want to get done quickly, and do not mind working from the integration manager interface, just build your integrations using econnect. If you have the time to develop a custom integration routine, go for econnect. If you want to leverage WCF technology on top of econnect, go for web services.
Each are listed in the amount of time it will take you to develop from fast implementation to slower implementation.
