I was playing with the PowerAutomate approvals tonight, and, since I have not used them at all before, I am wondering if CDS is an “add on” for the approvals or if CDS is a pre-requisite? See, when looking at the link above, it seems I don’t need CDS to work with the approvals: However,… Read More »
A colleague asked me a question earlier today (I can probably use this theme for half of the posts here… for that matter, do you have a good question? Feel free to ask ): “why is this Flow condition on regardingobjectid type not working?” And the condition looked more or less like this: (It’s truncated… Read More »
AD group teams are not managed exactly the same way “native” teams are managed in CDS, and one difference seems to be that associate/disassociate events will not be triggered for such teams. However, this does not mean there is no way to respond to a change in the group membership, it just has to be… Read More »
It seems like a no-brainer question with a simple “no” answer; however, there was something that came up on Linkedin while discussing my other post about using CDS pre/post images with the Flow: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/cds-post-images-and-cds-pre-images-in-powerautomate-flows/ What if, instead of using the service bus, we tried using “web hook” option in the Plugin Registration Tool? It does… Read More »
In a few of my previous posts, I used a custom connector which had a “regex” action implemented in it. In case that’s something you might try using in your flows as well, a non-production version (no up-time guarantee, no guarantee at all whatsoever. Feel free to use it, but you can’t hold me responsible)… Read More »
Full disclaimer… this post was triggered by what a fellow MVP, Olena Grischenko, wrote earlier today: https://msolenacrm.blog/2020/06/18/power-automate-for-cds-what-was-it-before-we-run-the-update-or-byebye-no-code/ I am all for plugins, I actually write them every day But, then, should not there be some way to work with pre/post images in PowerAutomate? Without code? And there is one, although “no code” solutions are not,… Read More »
The way I feel about Power Automate Flow is a perfect example of the love-hate relationships. Yes, I can do much more than I used to be able to do in the classic workflows. However, every now and then I run into something that seems simple, but that ends up being an exercise in… Read More »
Earlier today, a colleague of mine who tends to spend his days developing Power Automate Flows lately showed me something that seemed confusing at first. Now having dug into it a bit more I think it makes sense, but let’s see what you think. Here is a Flow where I have an HTTP Trigger, a… Read More »
As far as adding custom code to PowerApps/PowerAutomate goes, I’ve looked at three different options so far: Custom Connectors Azure Functions CDS Custom Actions Those are all valid options, but there are things to consider which go beyond purely technical aspects. For example, even though some Office 365 licenses include Power Apps use rights,… Read More »
While playing with “HTML tables” earlier today, I suddenly realized that there seem to be a bit more depth to it than I expected. Let’s say you have this Flow: And imagine that you wanted to Add headers with spaces Change overall look and feel of the rendered table Turns out those things are not… Read More »
