My flowbies! I want to trigger a Flow based on someone being added to an Azure AD Group. This doesn’t appear to be possible currently, as the Azure AD connector has no triggers. Am I correct? Andrew Bibby Hold my beer Microsoft Graph API contains the subscription feature where you can create subscriptions where a […]
Most of you were probably impacted by a most recent Azure outage on May 2 (see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/status/history/). Between 19:29 and 22:35 UTC on 02 May 2019, customers may have experienced connectivity issues with Microsoft cloud services including Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure DevOps. Most services were recovered by 21:40 UTC with the remaining […]
You know who are the most relentless follow-uppers? Super Simple Flow users, that’s who. Thank you everyone for your answers to my previous question. I have a follow up question. Is it possible to get the value of an attribute off of an entity dynamically instead of declaratively? E.g. instead of blah?[0]?.fullname something like blah?[0]?[someattributenameIgotinapreviousstep] […]
I wanted to name this tip “Do not use variables in Flow” but then it would have been a click-bait, not a tip. Yesterday we worked our way through the concept of getting an attribute of the first record from the list. The very first step we avoided was to “declare the variable”. Yes, it […]
This is probably a super simple question, but I’m a super simple flow user. After listing records from D365 how would I go about retrieving an attribute value of the first result returned? Michael “Super Simple Flow User” Ochs I won’t name the person who suggested the following: Declare variables to store values. Include top […]
If you use Microsoft Planner to plan your project tasks, you may want to automate creation of tasks. You can do this with Microsoft Flow. You will notice that you can’t update fields like the task description when you create a task–this is actually a separate step, called update task details. But if you try […]
TIP UPDATE–after further testing, it appears that this tip may not be necessary. Get record is helpful if you need to get additional details from a related record, but you should not have to do get record after an update trigger. You create a Flow that runs when a record is updated. Occasionally the Flow […]
We did recommend using CDS Connector in Flow (more than once, actually) and most of the time it works great. However there have been some reports that CDS Connector does not trigger in the sandbox organizations while working fine in production. Turns out, there is a good explanation, straight from the source: With the new […]
Whoever decided that you shouldn’t be able to save a Flow in a solution if you haven’t turned it off first is a cruel, cruel person Save me please In case you haven’t head, you can add Microsoft Flow to solutions now (yay!) but if you edit a flow without first turning the Flow off, […]
