Generally, in certain scenarios, we must cancel current flow if at all some condition was not met. So, without opening each flow in the consolidated list of flow runs we can easily find which flow runs passed and which are cancelled. In Power automate we can achieve this by using Cancel Flow Run Action.

Learn how to use the Switch action in Power Automate to handle multiple conditions, define cases and a default case, and test a flow with input values.

Whenever working with json payload’s in power automate, always a possibility of receiving null values inside json, where Parse JSON Action will be errored out because of these null values. To handle this we have to modify Schema of the generated Schema for the provided json.

In this article, you will learn how to send Email Notification to Owner Based on Content ExpiryDate using Power Automate.

Learn how to build a Power Automate instant cloud flow that creates Dataverse contact test records in a loop using a user-supplied record count.

During certain scenarios it is required to call Unbound action. To call a unbound action we can do it with javascript , plugins and power automate. In all the other methods except power automate you have to write explicit logic to call a unbound action. As an example, we call a generic unbound action from power automate.

During certain scenarios it is required to call bound action . To call a bound action we can do it with javascript , plugins and power automate. In all the other methods except power automate you have to write explicit logic to call an bound action. As an example, we call a sample bound action which was built for contact entity/table from power automate.

Number Formatting during few scenarios is required based on the customer requirement. In Power Automate, this can be achieved with Format Number Action. As an example, numeric value ,currency , Mobile numbers were shown using Format Number Action.

In Power Automate, we must consider about performance related things while working on apply to each action. During most of the scenarios concurrency control option present in apply to each action will come for rescue to process records faster pace with the usage of 50 parallel threads rather than 1 by 1 to process all the collection of records those are present in apply to each. As an example on list action on contacts that is present in Dataverse along with apply to each loop was used to explain this behavior.

In Power Automate, at times we need to write expressions manually, a quick way of doing is by using Peek code functionality that is present in every action in Power Automate . Especially this Peek code comes for rescue, when ever we are trying to work on actions like Lists, lookup values, Flow trigger conditions Peek code will be useful.

In Power Platform, at times we must take care of the number of flow runs per day based on API Limits so that we can run the flow only when it is needed. In Power automate this can be taken care by using Flow trigger condition available on trigger point of the flow.To explain this a basic automated flow was taken where on modification of any contact record if at all discount is equal to 50 then only I want my flow to run in all other cases flow should not be run.

In Power Platform, at times we must compare values to identify the minimum number. In Power Automate, min Function can be used quickly to find out min value in the given set of integers /Array .

In this article, we will learn to automate PowerApps apps sharing with users.

In Power Platform, at times we must compare values to identify whether the given number is less or not. In Power Automate, Less Function can be used quickly to find out whether the given integer/float is less or not by comparing with a number.

At times we tend to miss important updates especially some reminders, here in order to handle these kinds of things Scheduled cloud flows comes for rescue in Power Automate. As a real time scenario, we tend to forget to take break of 5 min for every hour while working with computers/ Laptops in this example I will try to explain this with Scheduled Cloud Flow.

In Power Platform, at times we must omit the spaces that are present inside a string. To achieve this functionality Trim function in Power Automate can be used. As an example, String variable name was used to explain Trim functionality.

Learn how to list all Power Automate flows in an environment and count the actions in each flow to help assess capacity usage.

In this blog, we will learn how we can create a Teams invite using Power Automate.

Learn how to use the Length function in Power Automate to count characters in strings and elements in arrays using Compose actions.

In Power Platform, at times we must verify whether the given json object or string or array have empty value or not. In Power Automate, Empty Function can be used quickly to find out whether empty value present or not.

In Power Platform, at times we must combine couple of Arrays or objects. In these scenarios, Union function in Power Automate can be used. As an example, Names String Array and Vehicles String Array were used to explain this behaviour.

In this article, we will learn how to call a Power Automate flow from PowerApps, how to pass parameters to Power Automate. We will also see how to return data to PowerApps from flow.

In Power Platform, at times we must take common values present in Arrays or objects. In these scenarios, Intersection function in Power Automate can be used. As an example, Names Array and Names Object and Actual Names Array,Actual Names Objects were used to explain this behaviour.

The web methods that is been triggered in Power Automate flow have conditions not to include any special characters other than the URI reserved. But there are some specific scenarios where few users email addresses is containing special characters which are unallowed and when logic hits such conditions the entire flow fails. This articles provides a solution workaround for such situations in detail

Learn how to use the Take function in Power Automate to retrieve a specified number of elements from an array or characters from a string.

In few scenarios when working on List of records for a given entity, we must provide paging to perform certain operations. In order to achieve this, we use different actions in Dataverse and power automate like do until, List Rows, Scope, Initialize, Increment and Set Variables . As an example for contacts entity with the help of changing page number dynamically with logic we can achieve this functionality.

In this article, we will learn to automatically fill PDF form template and save it in SharePoint document library. We will make use of Encodian free version connector

In few scenarios when working on List of records for a given entity it is needed to find out the count of total records present in that table to perform certain manipulations. Here length function in power automate can be used to get record count for a given list. As an example, contact table was considered.

In certain scenarios we must bundle multiple operations together so that all should pass or fail, in any case if one of the operations fails then all the other operations gets roll backed to make atomic operations. To achieve this functionality in Power Automate we can use ChangeSet Request Action , as a business scenario operations on Contact and Task tables were considered .

In this article, we will learn about how modern approvals data is being stored in the backend i.e. Microsoft Dataverse. We will learn the schema of tables used for approvals.
