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 »
Not without some help, but, it seems, I’ve just uncovered a skeleton in my closet. Which turned out to be this old blog post I wrote back in September 2019: Now, I stand corrected TWICE in just one day (just for the reference: https://crmtipoftheday.com/1372/synchronous-power-automate-flow-on-create-update-of-a-record/). That’s a little unusual feeling, but, well, the truth has to… Read More »
Did you ever try to put a really big IFrame on the model-driven form? If you did, and totally irrespective of why you would do such a bizarre thing, you might have seen this message: Those 40 rows, whatever they mean in pixels, is the maximum you can get if you go with a regular… 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 »
To start with, why do I even call it a battle? Isn’t it supposed to be a peaceful coexistence where each type of power apps can contribute where the other type is lacking in functionality? In theory, yes. In practice, it seems things may spin out of control in the extreme cases. Imagine there is… Read More »
TDS endpoint availability is, probably, one of the coolest technical capabilities introduced by Microsoft in the last few months. However, even though it’s great to be able to run SQL queries in the SQL management studio as described in Microsoft docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/cds-sql-query There are other usage scenarios which seem to be very enticing. Using it… Read More »
