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. Basically, like this: And I was going to mention it in the context of security in… Read More »
I will start this post with exactly the same picture as the previous one to keep us all alert. Remember, Logic Apps have Inline Scripts now – there is no time to relax till we find an appropriate answer to this challenge: And, even though I feel much better now keeping in mind that… Read More »
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 »
Having deployed my Flow in the Test environment earlier today, I quickly realized it was not working. Turned out Flow designer was complaining about the connections in the Flow with the following error: Some of the connections are not authorized yet. If you just created a workflow from a template, please add the authorized connections… Read More »
Recently, we’ve been prototyping a solution which would be using Form.IO to collect web forms data, so we needed a way to somehow store submitted requests in Dynamics. So what we came up with looked more or less like this: Form.IO offers different types of actions, and one of those allows forwarding submitted data to… Read More »
Some flows are solution-aware, and some flows are not: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/overview-solution-flows It turned out the difference between those two is not just that solution-aware flows are portable – somehow, it goes deeper. Just a few days ago wrote a post where I was trying to summarize error monitoring options for the Flows: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics/microsoft-flow-monitoring/ It was… Read More »
I often read/hear that Microsoft Flow is not suitable for the advanced integration scenarios where Logic Apps should be used instead. That statement is probably coming from the comparison below: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-compare-logic-apps-ms-flow-webjobs This is all great; however, unlike the Logic Apps which are living their own life somewhere in Azure, Microsoft Flow is a first-class… Read More »
