# Jaap Brasser | Rubrik
Session info
When working with Power Automate, the Office 365 connectors provide an easy way to interact with the various services. But what do you do when there is data, an attachment, or any additional information that you would like to retrieve that is not supported? You could raise an issue to improve the Connector, which is a great idea. But there is an alternative that will give you access to that data now: Azure Functions! Azure Functions also allow you to manipulate your data beyond what is easily possible using Power Automate. This session will dive into practical examples of how you can integrate and automate even more by combining the best of Power Automate and the Azure Functions. From creating your first Azure Functions infused flow, including what needs to be configured in Azure, to building out an advanced workflow. And you'll leave with some great tips on how to implement all this.

Setting up a web application on the Azure platform today is no longer rocket science. If we decide to use Azure PaaS or even Serverless, the process will be simplified, and the application could be available to users around the world quickly. But... If an application needs to be scalable and highly available, especially in the case of failure of the entire region, what do we need to do to achieve that goal?
