If you created a very minimal custom connector and looked at the swagger definition right after, you’d notice a bunch of attributes added by default: However, not all of those are literally “required” when creating a new connector. For example, I could have removed “schemes” node, and it would still be acceptable: The problem would… Read More »
I’ve been trying to figure out the exact definition of what being “in app context” means for Power Automate flows, since that’s where it matters for license enforcement, but every time I seem to come close to having it all figured out, there is always something that does not quite add up. Here is a… Read More »
It might be a little exaggerated on the screenshot below, but this illustrates the problem well: There are two flows, both having the same name, both having the same triggers and actions… so what’s the difference? The difference is, of course, in the details. Which Dataverse table is that trigger linked to and what email… Read More »
Just when I thought my recent encounter with the upcoming licensing changes was dramatic enough, it turned out there is more to it. Do you have a project where you’ve been using multiple flows, apps, etc? Then keep reading but be prepared to lose sleep for a bit. Are you just starting a new project?… Read More »
Not sure if you folks are aware – I was not, not until a few weeks ago when this came up in some discussions with the client, but, apparently, we should really start looking at our integration/migration/and other heavily utilized user accounts to see how many power platform requests are being made daily under those… Read More »
I was going to come up with an intro for this post to describe how diverse Power Platform has become etc, but it seems to be a moot point, I just need to admit that, normally, I do a lot more work with the Dataverse-backed apps / flows than with any other apps/flows. So, from… Read More »
Have you ever thought of how your cloud flows keep working even after you diligently followed your company policy and updated your password a few times in a row? I am not necessarily going to be 100% accurate below. Would be happy to be 80% close, and, please, feel free to drop me a note… Read More »
Have been scratching your head trying to figure out where to see the apps / flows created by other users in the environment, you might have noticed that those apps and flows may need to be shared with you, even if you have maker/admin permissions: In the example above, I don’t see personal flows created… Read More »
Come to think of it, a Power Automate cloud flow with an HTTP trigger and a response action is not that different from a web page for the outside world. Just look at this: If I had contact id passed to this flow as a query parameter, I could use Dataverse connector to set “do… Read More »
Occasionally, you’d probably want to know the time stamp of the last successful run of your power automate flow. For example, you might be working on the data synchronization, and you might need to track those timestamps somehow. Which is a bit of a problem, it seems.
