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

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.


Cheers,

Rocker

In traditional Dynamics workflow, we have a "send email" option but there is no such option I can see in flows.

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
