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 »
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 »
I used to think that connectors would be isolated from my local machine in the sense that, since they are in the cloud, my machine would be talking to the Flow/Canvas Apps/Flow Designer/etc, but not to the connector directly.

Just look at this – it’s a screenshot from Logic Apps: To say that I felt bad when I saw this is to say nothing! I was pretty much devastated. Do you know that Logic Apps have an Inline Script component that a logic app designer can use to run Javascript? And we, Power… Read More »
Have you ever seen a connector playing hide and seek? Just look at the recording below: Common Data Service (Current Environment Connector) does not show up when I type “related records” on the first screen But it does show up when I do it on the other screen What’s the difference? From what I could… Read More »
If you have not heard about UI Flows, give them a try! As in right now… that’s just some cool stuff from Microsoft which is now in preview. Login to your powerapps portal (https://make.powerapps.com), select Flows, and choose UI Flows: The coolest part about it is that, right from the start, you can probably… Read More »
I was looking for a way to implement “timeout until” in Microsoft Flow, and, although there seem to be a way to do it, there is at least one caveat. First of all, here is the problem. Let’s say I wanted to send a notification email (or assign a case to somebody) on the Follow… Read More »
