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 set privilege for Activity Attachment (activitymimeattachment) in Dynamics 365 or PowerApps

Image
One day, some of the users in my Dynamics 365 CE environment were not able to attach a document against an appointment and other activities. A user who has a basic(user-level) create, global read, business unit edit, and global "append and append to" privileges on activities, trying to attach a document against an activity that is owned by another user/team. But unable to do it and getting an "insufficient privilege" message. We know that there is no privilege in the security role for "Attachment" and many people suggest that attachments are handled by "Note(annotation)" privilege. I have increased the notes privilege to global but no luck. After doing some research, I came to know that the "Activity attachments(Activitymimeattachment)" privilege depends on Activities. When I increased the activity  "Create, Append and append to" privilege to Global(Organization) then attachment also inherited this privilege. Hence users are a
