The classic “give me 5 minutes and I’ll whip a flow for you” did not start well. Users entity table was not there. Options Choices: It’s something trivial and I’m simply no longer worthy. ‘u’ is not an actual ‘u’ but Russian ‘и’ typed accidentally but in a weird font. It’s a UI bug It’s […]
They said Power Apps portals are only good for building functionality. They said Power Apps portals can’t do content management. They said Power Apps portals do not support publishing cycle without taking pages offline. They. Were. Wrong. The Enabler Watch this video to learn how to use language feature in Power Apps portals to create […]
I finally found some courage to publish a video tip of my own. Why now? Because the topic is just too good to simply write it down. You have to see it! What is it? It’s JavaScript code inside Power Automate – yes, we can! Watch this video to learn how to build the simplest […]
When you fire up a child workflow in classic workflow, it’s always asynchronous. Fire and forget. Sometimes it’s what you need, sometimes you want to insist on child finishing their greens before the dessert, so to speak.

Challenge with fixed records is that we have no idea what the record identifier is, how to reliably search for the record and how to pass it as a parameter between environments. Why not to use a fixed guid and create that entity […]
One taketh one giveth (or other way around). Returning a favor to AK who asked: How does the portals handle uploading of virus? (Want your favor returned? Send your awesome tip to jar@crmtipoftheday.com!) There are multiple mechanisms you can put in place to protect your users from the viruses (no, not that virus, unfortunately).
I need to perform some data… uhm… “augmentation”. Easy as using Power Automate – get all the records, loop through, fudge I mean augment the data. Right? Except there could be more than 100,000 records. Why 100K? That’s the maximum you can get with the List Records action. (Wanted to insert a reference here but […]
Today’s tip is indirectly from Alex Shlega. Alex is very thorough in his writing so I was a bit surprised that his answer to running a synchronous flow from a webhook was a ‘no’. The reason cited was that CDS “execution pipeline” won’t wait for the Flow completion. Well, it will indeed not, but only […]
Today’s tip has nothing to do with Power <insert noun here>. Not because I have nothing to talk about but because I feel strongly about today’s subject. tl;dr When sharing a link, remove en-us from the URL. What are you talking about? We all consume and produce a fair amount of the computer-related material. Being […]
