This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 2.

The 8th of the new functionality in the Cloud flows section is create and edit expressions with Copilot.

Makers can create, edit, and fix their Power Automate expressions by expressing their expression requirement in natural language. They can save a lot of time building expressions manually by invoking Copilot through this feature.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Oct 2024
General Availability: Nov 2024

Feature Details

Prior to this feature, makers needed to write complex expressions in their cloud flows in Power Automate to process data, or do conversions, manipulation, comparison, and others. With this feature, makers can create complex expressions or edit their existing expressions simply through submitting natural language prompts submitted to Copilot in Power Automate.

You need Copilot access in your tenant to use this feature, and turning off copilot turns off this feature too.

The 7th of the new functionality in the Cloud flows section is create a flow on a file in Teams.

This feature allows you to create a flow on a file in Teams using one of the templates that are available to be done to a file. You can also use AI to create your flow from scratch.

The 6th of the new functionality in the Cloud flows section is connect to other environments from the Microsoft Dataverse connector.

Users can create flows that combine data and perform operations across different Microsoft Dataverse databases.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview:  Nov 12, 2023
General Availability: Nov 2024

Feature Details

Currently, you must use the Microsoft Dataverse (legacy) connector to connect to environments outside of the current environment. With this feature, you can connect to other environments from the Microsoft Dataverse connector’s actions and triggers.

My Opinion

It is not unusual for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central clients to have more than one production environment, so this looks like it could be very useful.
