What is Microsoft Power Platform

In simple words, Microsoft Power platform is a place where we can work on the following technologies:

    1. PowerApps 
    2. Power Automate
    3. Power BI 
    4. Power Virtual Agents

 


We can create the following type of components in PowerApps:
  1. Model-Driven App: Default app for Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365. We can not connect with other system databases except Microsoft Dataverse.
  2. Canvas App: It provides the facility to connect with multiple system databases including Microsoft Dataverse. There are multiple prebuilt connectors available that help us to connect with multiple systems.
  3. Power Portal: It is a website for users who do not have an office365 license, Here users can interact with Microsoft Dataverse data.



Here we can create flows and do operations in Microsoft Dataverse as well as in other systems. There are multiple prebuilt connectors available that help us to connect a flow with multiple databases.
For eg, A task record should be created in Dynamics 365 if we get a tweet on a particular tweeter handle.
We can also automate processes like sending emails, create records, update records and delete records.



We can create dashboards and insights while connecting with multiple databases through available prebuilt connectors including Microsoft Dataverse.



It helps us to create and manage chat boats. It is easy to configure.



There is no need to do integration between these technologies, We get multiple prebuilt connectors by which we can combine all the four technologies together.


Cheers,

Rocker

Power Automate: Create and attach Dataverse note or activity with an entity record through MS flow

Image
There was a requirement where a note(annotation) will be created once an account is created in Dataverse. I have created a Microsoft flow to achieve this functionality. Below is the screenshot of the flow: It was not a difficult flow but I was getting below error in last step i.e, "Create a note and attach PDF" Resource not found for the segment. The reason for this error was assigning "Account id" in regarding: To resolve the above error, I have set "accounts(Account)" in regarding and it worked. You can also use "/accounts(Account)". Conclusion : Whenever you are creating a #Dataverse note or activity through #MSflow then use "entityname(entityid)" or "/entityname(entityid)" in regarding and don't forget to add suffix "S" in entityname.

How to send Dataverse email through PowerAutomate

Image
In one of my project requirements, I have to send some recursive email notifications to the account owner. I have chosen Scheduled flow to do this operation, Everything was fine till I created the email. Now, I wonder how to send this email. In traditional Dynamics workflow, we have a "send email" option but there is no such option I can see in flows. What to do now?😓 No worries, After some research, I found "Perform a Bound Action" by which we can send an email. In "Perform a bound action", We have to choose the table as "Email messages", Action name "Send Email" and just mention created email message id in Row Id. Finally, My flow looked like this  That's all, Now the email will be sent from Dataverse. Please subscribe blog for regular updates. Cheers, Rocker

How to avoid "for each" in Power Automate when there is only one record in Dataverse List rows

Image
There are some situations when we retrieve only a single row. To retrieve an entity record from Dataverse we generally use "List Rows" feature and this always returns an entity collection. Hence we always need to go in "for each" loop. As shown in the below example, I am creating an email on the creation of an account entity record in Dataverse. I have retrieved a queue to set it in "from" activity party of the email. I know that there is only one queue record but I am helpless if I directly select "Dynamic content", It automatically creates a "for each" loop. See in below screenshots: If I go for expression rather than "Dynamic content" then I can avoid "for each" loop, Please refer below screenshot: Below line, I have written in expression: outputs('List_rows_Queue')?['body/value'][0].queueid Here "List_rows_Queue" is the above step, [0] is the first row and "queueid" is a field
