Working with Power Automate: How to Create a New Cloud Instant Flow

Ian Grieve3 minute read2 Comments

Power AutomateThis article is part of the Working with Power Automate series I am writing on my experiences working with the Power Automate, which is part of the Power Platform from Microsoft. I also have a related series of articles on Power Automate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC.

There are several types of cloud flow available with Power Automate, but the main one I have been working with recently on projects are the instant flows which are initiated by a user clicking a button in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, soi I thought I would use this as the example in this article.

To create a new instan flow, log into the Power Automate portal and open your solution; tehcnically you don’t need to create your flow in a solution, but best practice dictates that you do develop your flows in a solution and deploy as a managed solution, so I am showing how to do it via a solution.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate), how do I… An Alternative to Environment Variables

Ian Grieve4 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate), how do I… series and of the wider In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, how do I… series which I am posting as I familiarise myself with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

I’ve previously commented, in the Working with Power Automate series, that environment variables should be used and I do stand by that statement. However, it occurred to me after writing that post that, when working with Power Automate flows for Business Central, while you should use environment variables for the environment and company, there may be benefits to storing other settings in a custom table in Business Central, where you could store the parameters using a key/value pair.

This would have the benefits avoiding hard-coding settings in the flow as well as making it easier for end-users to maintain the settings.

Instead of needing to access the Power Automate portal and changing the environment variables, they could instead use the more familiar Business Portal environment to change the parameters in a list page. If I was taking this approach, I would also include more than just the key/value in order to make maintaining it easier for users, by including a way to group similar settings and include a notes column which would allow an explanation of the setting to be included for future reference.

This is a brief example of the table I might have created:

Key Value Group Notes
Purchasing Fallback Approver fred@example.com Approval Workflows Fallback purchasing approver for when everyone else is out of office.
Sales Fallback Approver bob@example.com Approval Workflows Fallback sales approver for when everyone else is out of office.

Within the flow, the table could be selected and loaded into variables for use via the Find record (V3) action.

If you aren’t using Business Central then a similar approach could be used in SharePoint or even an Excel workbook stored on OneDrive.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate), how do I… Create Environment Variables for the Environment and Company

Ian Grieve2 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate), how do I… series and of the wider In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, how do I… series which I am posting as I familiarise myself with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

When developing flows for Business Central there are (at least) two environment variables I would create; environment and company.

Both of these environment variables are created as I explained in this article, as text variables.

The environment one is quite straightforward where you can simply enter the BC environment name, such as sandbox or, as in my case, BCDEV:

New environment variable pane completed for a variable called BCEnvironment

New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1: Improve Approval Processes via Power Automate

Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1.

The 3rd of the new functionality in the Adapt faster with Power Platform section is improve approval processes via Power Automate.

Approving documents or data changes in a modern company must be straightforward. Microsoft listen to feedback and continue to improve this area, making sure this experience matches business users’ expectations.

Enabled for: Users, automatically
Public Preview: Apr 2024
General Availability: Apr 2024

Feature Details

In previous releases, Microsoft introduced several new approval templates and a simplified experience based on Power Automate. With this wave, Microsoft improve this area by introducing several new changes:

  • The Approval User Setup page has been updated and exposed to Power Automate. Approvers don’t need to be defined manually on the Power
  • Automate side anymore, but the flow execution takes the relevant approver directly from Business Central.
  • The system passes information about user actions in Power Automate back to Business Central where the respective events are properly logged.
  • More templates are enabled for Power Automate approval integration.

Microsoft welcome your feedback on these improvements as they continue to innovate.

My Opinion

Approvals in Power Automate was one of the areas of which I have been most critical as it seemed to lack a lot of the functionality I would expect. The first two of the improvements look to be good enhancements, especially the second one of logging statuses back into Business Central.

The first one will vary in usefulness depending on the complexity of the approval workflow as the standard Approval User Setup page in Business Central only has very little flexibility.

New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1: Use Virtual Tables to Expose More Business Central Data in Dataverse

Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 1.

The 2nd of the new functionality in the Adapt faster with Power Platform section is use virtual tables to expose more Business Central data in Dataverse.

Use virtual tables when you synchronize data between Business Central, Dataverse, and other Dynamics 365 apps to enhance the value of your Dynamics 365 investment. Virtual tables erase boundaries between Dynamics 365 apps and make your data accessible to users in their preferred app.

Enabled for: Users by admins, makers, or analysts
Public Preview: Mar 2024
General Availability: Apr 2024

Feature Details

When you synchronize data between Business Central and Dataverse, you can add a synthetic relationship between a synchronized entity and a virtual table if you enable virtual tables in Business Central. Virtual tables let you enrich the data you’ve set up to synchronize from Business Central with data you haven’t, without help from a developer.

My Opinion

On the surface this sounds useful, but I really need to take a look at how this feature works. It would be useful to access additional data with Power Automate, but I need to see how easy it is to expose tables and also how easy it is to replicate that between environments.

Working with Power Automate: What Are Environment Variables and Why Should They be Used?

Ian Grieve5 minute read3 Comments

Power AutomateThis article is part of the Working with Power Automate series I am writing on my experiences working with the Power Automate, which is part of the Power Platform from Microsoft. I also have a related series of articles on Power Automate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC.

As I’ve commented in other articles, solutions should be used when developing Power Automate flows, and in fact form part of the recommended application lifecycle management (ALM) scenario of moving a flow between Power Automate environments.

Environment variables are only available within a solution and are used to store parameter keys and values used within the flows of the solution. This separation of settings from functionality allows the behaviour of a flow to be changed without needing to amend the flow in the development environment and the solution redeployed to the production environment.

While you can and should use environment variables for all parameters used by flows within a solution, the two which I would say should always be created for a flow used with Business Central are the ones for the environment and company.

The main benefits of using environment variables are:

  • Provide new parameter values while importing solutions to other environments.
  • Store configuration for the data sources used in canvas apps and flows. For example, SharePoint Online site and list parameters can be stored as environment variables; therefore allowing you to connect to different sites and lists in different environments without needing to modify the apps and flows.
  • Package and transport your customization and configuration together and manage them in a single location.
  • Package and transport secrets, such as credentials used by different components, separately from the components that use them.
  • One environment variable can be used across many different solution components – whether they’re the same type of component or different. For example, a canvas app and a flow can use the same environment variable. When the value of the environment variable needs to change, you only need to change one value.
  • Additionally, if you need to retire a data source in production environments, you can simply update the environment variable values with information for the new data source. The apps and flows don’t require modification and will start using the new data source.
  • Supported by SolutionPackager and DevOps tools enable continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
  • The environment variables can be unpacked and stored in source control. You may also store different environment variables values files for the separate configuration needed in different environments. Solution Packager can then accept the file corresponding to the environment the solution will be imported to.

More details on environment variables are available on < ahref='https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/environmentvariables'>Microsoft Learn.

Using Power Platform connectors directly in Power Automate for desktop actions will reduce logical loops and minimize time to create flows.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Apr 2024
Early Access: –
General Availability: Jun 2024

Feature Details

As a maker, you’re now able to use more than 1,000 cloud connectors, currently available in cloud flows, straight through desktop flows. This feature helps reduce logical loops and minimize flow creation time. It also helps ensure all actions capabilities are available through desktop flows for the Power Platform connectors.

My Opinion

I’ve been meaning to take more of a look at desktop flows for a while now, but haven’t had the time. I was aware that you could call cloud flows from a desktop flow, but this enhancement will allow you to use cloud connectors directly from the desktop flow, which seems like a useful enhancement.

Power AutomateThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1.

The 2nd of the new functionality in the Desktop Flows section is Power Fx integration with Power Automate for desktop.

You can now create automation flows through scripting using Power Fx. Power Fx enables the full spectrum of development from no-code makers without any programming knowledge to pro-code for the professional developers. It enables diverse teams to collaborate and save time and effort.

note Note

Microsoft Power Fx is the new name for the formula language for canvas apps in Power Apps.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically

Feature Details

Power Fx is the low-code language for expressing logic across Microsoft Power Platform. It’s a general-purpose, strong-typed, declarative, and functional programming language. Power Fx is expressed in human-friendly text. It’s a low-code language that makers can work with directly in an Excel-like formula bar or Visual Studio Code text window. The “low” in low-code is due to the concise and simple nature of the language, making common programming tasks easy for both makers and developers.
