How to handle database modifications via Power Apps?

First of all, I would like to say please do not be surprised by my question cause I'm a beginner in this sphere.
I just started work with Power Apps and I have the following task:
I need to create some "Notification Service" which will be sent the notification inside Teams group after the event in the SQL table (for example, after successful insert into table).
Could you please explain, is it possible to do via Power Apps features without writing a code?
The application must be work in background mode and automatically send information about new rows in DB.
Any your answer will be very helpful for me!
Thanks for your answers!
PowerApps doesn't have the ability to notify people this way. You have to use Power Automate. A flow can be triggered when a row is changed or modified. In order to trigger a Flow on a database, the database field must have a TimeStamp field and a primary key.

Am I "Allowed" to add a default constraint directly to DB in Dynamics 365?

Wondering if anyone can help a total newbie to Dynamics 365. Have started working on an existing implementation of Dynamics 365 (on premise) and am told by current developers that under no circumstances can I amend a column in a table for one of our entities directly on the DB. I am simply wanting to default an INT column to value 1.
They tell me "Dynamics is a black box and you will be breaking the law if you amend directly". This can't be true can it?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Building on what Josh said, it is true that the Dynamics SQL database is a black box. Everything must be done through the API with the exception of creating custom indexes on tables and reading from the "Filtered" views.
(And with the new T-SQL endpoint in preview for the online product, you're able to run SQL select queries against an online org.)
The reason for this that all events in Dynamics go through the "platform" via messages. For example, you might have plugin or workflow automation that triggers on the Update of an Account. When the platform receives the "Update" message for an Account, it searches for subscribers to that event and runs any subscribed processes. If you write a change directly to an Account record in SQL, you deprive the platform of the opportunity to run its processes for that event.
And it is good to note that Microsoft uses the same event framework for internal events. So, if you say, "Well, I have no custom plugins or workflows running on the Update message for Accounts so I can edit Accounts directly in SQL." By doing so you'd still risk breaking an internal Microsoft process that triggers on that event.
In a nutshell the platform's need to process ALL events is why direct updates to the database are unsupported. If you do them, Microsoft will refuse to support your system.
Another consideration is that if you ever want to move to the Dynamics Online, writing to the database isn't even possible, so you'd have to redo any automation that relied on that. This is another reason why everyone generally accepts the need to customize their system in the supported way.
Do people occasionally do unsupported things, with good justification? Yes, perhaps most commonly in making unsupported changes to the UI. Even so, writing directly to the database is among the highest offenses to be avoided.
Back to your scenario... it can be jarring to discover that the SQL database is off limits for any direct writing or schema changes. Fortunately Dynamics provides many other automation "hooks" including client-side JavaScript, Business Rules, Power Automate Flows, workflows, and plugins (synchronous and asynchronous).
To set a default value in the UI, the options include a Business Rule and JavaScript. To set a default value in the database, a synchronous workflow or plugin would do the trick.
The Developer Guide is a good place to start.
This would be considered an “unsupported” customization by Microsoft. If it breaks something in the logic of the app, Microsoft won’t help you fix it. If you ever move to Online instead of On-premise, you won’t have this ability. The current developers are battle-hardened and are trying to help you. This is a very bad idea - better would be to create a plug-in on Create of that entity that sets up default values for null fields. This way your logic is in the app with all the other custom logic and is supported.

Manage Desktop program seting and features in the cloud

A program I have written has many modules we can turn on or off depending on the clients preference or if the client pays for the feature. Some features may be charged on a subscription basses and needs to expire after a given date
I am looking for a cloud based solution I could have like a dashboard and be able to see all the clients and what features are set and be able to control (Turn on Turn Off and set expiration dates) these features of my program in a central place.
Is there any such service out there or something I could easily tweak to do this?
What would be building blocks if I need to design on by myself for cheap?
It would be used by around 100-300 clients
I suggest you look for delphi BAAS cloud
Unfortunately I didn't try to show you some example, but have some videos on Youtube

Square-Connect Real Time Inventory Updates

I am researching the square-connect api, and am able to send out curl calls and receive responses without issue. My question is, can a sale on the iOS APP send a call to my MySQL database to keep the inventory up-to-date on both my iPad and my database or do I need to run a cron every 5min or so to pull data?
The Square Connect API does not currently provide notifications for events such as changes in inventory counts. I've passed this use case along to the Connect API engineering team.
Your suggested solution of periodically pulling inventory information is the recommended method at this time.

Looking for a way (preferably an API) to determine Effective Permissions on Active Directory object

We have a custom Active Directory integrated web app that helps users perform some self-service on their accounts (e.g. update photo, change phone number, reset password etc.) Our app runs on domain-joined servers, as Local System, and is thus able to authenticate to the AD using the server account(s).
We use a service connection point, that the app's clients use to locate an instance of our app. (Our app clients are hard-coded to look for certain keywords which are published on the servie connection point's keywords attribute.)
We recently had a situation wherein someone (we believe accidentally) changed the keywords on one of the service connection points resulting in an outage, since the clients could no longer find our SCP when querying the AD for our keyword(s).
The customer is a bit upset about this and wishes for us to provide them the ability to determine who can change the keywords on our SCPs. This feedback was passed on from our sales guys to us, and now we need to provide some way of helping them figure out who can change the keywords on our SCPs.
So, we're looking for an API to help us to determine Effective Permissions on our Active Directory service connection point objects, so we can alleviate this situation for the customer. We couldn't quite find an Effective Permissions / Access API that could help us list all the users who have effective write access to the keyword and other attributes on our SCPs.
Is there an API/other way that one can use to determine Effective Permissions on an Active Directory object?
It needs to be able to list all the users who have a specified access on a specified set of attributes of an Active Directory object.
This stack overflow post may be able to help you. LINQ to LDAP should also allow you to access the information pretty easily as well.
