Dynamics 365 Business Central: receive notifications when AppSource apps updates are available in a tenant

Dynamics 365 Business Central

App updates for AppSource apps in Dynamics 365 Business Central tenant are automatically handled by Microsoft during major or minor updates.
Need to manually check for available updates within the lifetime of a minor update, such as hotfixes or new versions from the app's publisher.
Traditional method involves going to Dynamics 365 Business Central Admin Center to check for available updates for installed AppSource apps.
A solution proposed is to use Admin Center APIs from a Powershell script to automate the process.
Business Central Admin Center APIs provide the /availableUpdates API to retrieve information about new app versions available for installed apps.
Powershell script can be scheduled to run daily, call the API for a tenant, retrieve available app updates, and send a notification email with update details.
The provided Powershell script includes setting up access token, retrieving available updates, and sending notification emails with update details in HTML format.
Partners can customize and extend the Powershell script for additional functionalities or different types of notifications.
