I’m writing a Power Automate flow, and I want to have other connections like OneDrive and Outlook owned by other accounts, such as a service account. Yash Agarwal had a great suggestion on how to handle this: Share the flow with the service account as an owner, then open the flow as the service account […]
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.

I’m creating an approval flow with Power Automate, and if the approval email gets an out-of-office response, I want to route the approval to somebody else Reader That’s a really good idea–say the manager is on a two-week vacation at the time the approval comes in, you don’t want to wait until she comes back […]

Power Automate, on the other hand, always wants the result when you call a child flow and nags […]
Need to reference a fixed record, for example, Accounts Payables, or SARS-CoV-2? 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 […]
The wand picks the wizard Nick Doelman Too tired to read? Why wouldn’t you listen instead – t.j. It’s been my observation that with a few notable exceptions, people in the Power Platform community primarily focus on Power Apps or on Power Automate. Lots of people will use both, but generally people are more “app […]
I had things stolen from me, I gave things away on many occasions. But I never ever lost anything. What’s the secret? Time perception. I do not lose things, I only temporarily misplace them The Enabler Consider this. Last year I created a folder for all the good tips coming in from the fellow tipsters, […]
