We’ve built our solution primarily using low‑code. But sometimes you hit a wall… Either the right connector doesn’t exist, or you’re looking at a third‑party solution you can’t afford—or simply don’t want to pay for. That’s when we build it ourselves 😀

We send geoJSON to our agent, which returns a large amount of text in Markdown. Markdown isn’t the ideal format for presenting text to our end users. We could probably have solved this in many different ways, but we went with the fastest route to the finish line.

We created an Azure Function that converts Markdown to HTML. We use Power Automate to call the Function App, which then returns HTML back to the flow, which in turn sends it to the Canvas App.

This is what we call Low‑code → Pro‑code → Low‑code.
