Hope you have not missed the news – I blogged about it before here, and it’s still coming. Soon enough, you may need to ensure your premium Power Automate flows are either get associated to the apps in order to keep running on the Power Apps licensing plans, or you’ll need to license those flows differently.… 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? Well, there… 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 »

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.
