Automatically Update Sandbox environement, BC online

It would be very nice, if it's possible to update the sandbox environement automatically every night from the production environment.

So you would have an updatet sandbox every morning (or certain interval).

Thank you for this suggestion. While we do not have a way to set this up out-of-the-box, it is possible to automate this using S2S authentication for authorized AAD apps for the Admin Center API. Learn more about the API and authentication for it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/administration-center-api

We provide some sample automations that use S2S authentication for the Admin Center API and Application Insights telemetry, an automation to automatically copy a Production environment to a Sandbox environment could look similar to these: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/administration/tenant-admin-center-notifications#telemetry-in-application-insights
