How to send Dataverse email through PowerAutomate

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.

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
