Today I'm releasing my Power Automate coding standards, codename Artemis. These are suggestions for building flows quickly, efficiently and in a supportable way. Naming conventions, ways to build flows in both small and larger organisations. github.com/MattCollins-Jo… #CloudFlows

Do you find yourself describing the purpose of @Dataverse columns in documentation? Here's a way to use the Metadata Document Generator XrmToolBox tool and Excel to give the documentation contents from column descriptions pnp.github.io/blog/post/prod…

Are you familiar with the Data Transporter in XrmToolBox? Have you ever had a requirement to filter the records to be copied based on the linked table (and not just the current table)? I have added the functionality to use the whole FetchXML in the filte…lnkd.in/grmYMbNn

FYI @LinkeD365 for the potential process documentation tool. I'm not sure whether Markdown or HTML contents can be moved into a Word document, which was your preferred format?

I just posted a Power Automate idea to allow the selection of Lookup Display Name and Choice Label from Dataverse action output in the dynamic value list. Please give a vote if you also think that functionality is required. ideas.powerautomate.com/d365community/…

The Metadata Document Generator by @TanguyTouzard is one of my favourite XrmToolBox tools. Great for analysis and to support #Migration. See guide in guest post on Linn Zaw Win 🇲🇲🇦🇺's great #TooLDR guides linnzawwin.blogspot.com/p/metadata-doc…

When searching for information about #PowerAutomate functions the official documentation rarely appears. It is because MS Learn did not optimize this topic for search. All functions are described on one massively long webpage. Trying to find the information there is difficult.

Blog post: When I took over as the functional consultant on my current project, there were nearly 200 #powerautomate cloud flows. So I wrote a flow to summarise the flows, their triggers, and their connections pnp.github.io/blog/post/flow…
