I’ve long being using Update action of the Dataverse connector to do “upserts”, and it just turned out there are, now (have been for a while?), two separate actions: Update a rowUpsert a row Behind the scenes “Upsert a row” is the old good “UpdateRecord” action. And “Update a row” is a new “UpdateOnlyRecord” action.… Read More »
Let’s say you are trying to use Power Pages web api to set a lookup column to null. You might want to ask copilot, but, depending on which one you ask (maybe none of them?), it might not know, not yet at least: Well, normally, you’d be using this syntax to prepare your data object… Read More »
In the previous post, I did show it off a bit, but how do we actually set it all up? Well, see below, just be ready for a l-o-o-o-ng read. First things first, what’s the ultimate goal? This just speaks “reverse proxy”, but how do I set it up? And there is one more requirement:… Read More »
Apparently, “http request” cloud flows don’t want me to use redirect responses. Well, will have to do it differently I guess? This works:
Changing primary owner of your flows in the maker portal is simple – just go there, choose a flow, click “Edit” in the details section, then change the primary owner. This usually makes sense when setting up an application account as a flow owner, since that protects us from unexpected failures if the user-owner leaves… Read More »

Strict security, missing subscriptions, long approvals… if you’ve ever worked on the government projects, you know the drill.

This is intentional, there is another post which explains why Back in October, Microsoft has started rolling out updates to the Dataverse connector which will… Read More »
I’m having a strange dilemma, which is that I think I’m supposed to be using Power Automate as much as I can, but I am just not clear on how to license them now. They would be a better choice for automations: However, if I wanted to do ALM, I’d better have Power Automate flows… Read More »
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 occur later,… Read More »
It seems I still can’t quite get over those Power Automate licensing updates – new questions keep coming up, we keep digging, and that brings some new revelations. Well, today’s topic is multiplexing. First off all, “multiplexing” is not a bad word 😉 Here is how Microsoft defines it in the Client Access License (CAL) Requirements: “Multiplexing” is when individuals… Read More »
