Back in Tip #880, we mentioned Approvals in Flow. Specifically, we said: …use the flow approval framework and even have people who don’t have Dynamics licenses approve stuff. Given the implications of this for Dynamics, it is worth exploring further. If you have not explored Approvals in Flow, it is worth a review. A unique […]
Microsoft is making lots of noise of late about the soon to be released Spring Release. One of the key takeaways from those announcements is that PowerApps and Flow are a key element of the future for app development in Dynamics (Canvas Apps, as they call them). If you still think PowerApps and Flow are […]
If you are a long time “CRM Person” like me, you may be interested in PowerApps, but if you try out PowerApps, you see that the process of building a PowerApp is significantly different than customizing Dynamics 365 forms. So I asked PowerApps MVP Daniel Laskewitz What are the best training materials for “CRM people” […]

Just as we learned that Flow users now have a graduation path to the Logic Apps, the team has released another awesome feature blurring the gap between the two. Flow now has Expression tab that allows some data manipulation as part of an Action. Simplest scenarios include date and string manipulations; thrill seakers can self-inflict […]
It was never a secret that Microsoft Flow was built on top of Azure Logic Apps. However, until recently, two platforms were independent, one designed to attract end-users and customizers and another – developers and DevOps. The day has come to grow up – it is now possible for Flow users to save any flow […]
I keep hearing the same question over and over again. And I keep seeing long drawn out answers to the question, sometimes with it being explained with a half dozen bullet points. Other times, with unnecessary examples. What’s the question? When should I use Microsoft Flow vs CRM Workflow to do ‘something’? Here is the […]
On the most recent episode of CRM Audio we discuss using Microsoft Flow to create a task in Wunderlist when a task is assigned to me in Dynamics 365. On the surface, this looks like an easy process.
