Document Templates have been available in model-driven apps for a while now – they are integrated with the model-driven apps, and it’s easy for the users to access them. They do have limitations, though. We cannot filter those documents, we can only use 1 level of relationships, on each relationship we can only load 100… Read More »
There was a quick discussion on linkedin yesterday where the post by Jerry Weinstock stating that change tracking must be enabled for the Flows to work was mentioned: https://www.crminnovation.com/blog/microsoft-flow-crm-change-tracking-option/ Given that I did not do anything with the Flows 3-4 years ago, and I never had to worry about change tracking recently, I was a… Read More »
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 »
Here is a really quick question before you continue reading. When looking at the image below, can you see what’s wrong there? Of course the answer is – it’s a Canvas App trying to pretend it’s a model-driven app: That’s a little experiment I wanted to try, and, quite honestly, as entertaining as it was,… 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 »
