1 Bank of Canada endpoints you can import. Each lands in its own table in your data warehouse.
Why Bank of Canada does not post straight to Microsoft Teams
Bank of Canada publishes official exchange rates, and a message posted from that source shows rates only. It does not convert your orders or invoices, which is the reason anyone reads the rate in the first place. A Teams channel is read by people outside the team that built the report, so every number needs to explain itself. The join belongs in a warehouse first.
- Bank of Canada rates mean little until they meet your orders and invoices
- A Teams channel reaches colleagues who never saw the source, so definitions must travel with the figures
- The data analyst links the sources by SQL keys and controls what the message says
