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 »
I just learned how to create balloons! At first, it actually did not look that interesting at all when I clicked the question mark button: Yep, it felt a little empty there. So, I started to wonder, what can I do to make it more interesting? Turned out there is quite a bit… Read More »
I got a tricky Power Automate Flow the other day – it was boldly refusing to meet my expectations in what it was supposed to do. In retrospect, as much as I would want to say that it was all happening since Power Automate was in a bad mood, there seem to be a couple… Read More »
When implementing ItAintBoring.Deployment powershell modules, I did not initially add support for the “status” and “status reason” fields. Usually, we don’t need to migrate inactive reference data, but there are always exceptions, and I just hit one the other day. Reality check. There is an updated version of the powershell script now, and there… 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 »
A number of folks have pointed out that solution environment variables are, now, in preview: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/common-data-service/environmentvariables I was looking at it yesterday, and, it seems, I’m having a bit mixed emotions. Environment variables seem to represent a hybrid experience: we can work with them in the model-driven application, but we can also work with… Read More »
You may have heard of it already, but there is going to be a new way to purchase Power Platform services soon – Self-Service Purchase Capabilities are arriving in November: There is a corresponding FAQ page that answers some of the questions you may have: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/commerce/subscriptions/self-service-purchase-faq One thing to keep in mind, though, is… Read More »
In the previous post I talked about using a “RetrieveMultiple” (+Update/Create) plugin to incorporate business logic into a Canvas App. And, of course, the very first question I got is “why using a plugin if you could use a Flow”? It’s a fair question, and I figured I’d try to provide a fair answer. Have… Read More »
One problem with my inspection canvas app was that I did need some “business logic” to be there, and, of course, with the limited coding we can do in the canvas applications, it just had to be implemented somewhere else. A Microsoft Flow maybe? Well… I am talking about a CDS application, and this is… Read More »
