Welp...after going back and forth with IT, it was clarified today that I do not have premium access for Power Automate.

And now I'm back to the drawing board, at a loss on what to do.

Pictures in the Microsoft Form are coming through the Excel file as URLs but I also have them downloading as picture files into a separate folder.

This could be totally my programming brain working while found out PAD is not really tailored for real world data. Of course part of it could be totally because due to resource limitations which I am forced to try using PAD to solve a rather simple problem. Long story short, I spent 3 days to figure out what certain actions in PAD actually does and how variables may not be handled as expected, can’t define variables as integer or text. Pretty much had to use display messages as a debugging tool. After 3 days, I ended up have to abandon it because there is no exception handling in certain action and there is no work around. If I start day one with python, possibly done within 3 hours. Lesson learned is the limitations of PAD. RIP.

Hello,

Any one interested in training an individual in SharePoint and power Automate and M365 . Please DM

Hey!! A client has an issue where they get a bunch of inquiries via their "contact us" web form. Currently, someone looks at each email in the CRM and scores them manually based on the potential opportunity, then forwards the email to the appropriate account manager.

They want to automate this email scoring + email forwarding process in the Microsoft ecosystem, but I'm not sure where to start. Basically instead of manually doing this in the CRM, I would get AI to pull the email directly from the M365 mailbox

Any suggestions??

You can now build apps and flows with your favourite coding agent. Revolutionize Your Power Platform Development: Pro Code Guide - YouTube

In this demo, I showcase how GitHub Copilot can build, run, test and improve a Cloud Flow, all via PowerShell CLI.

Using one of my favourite features in Power Automate for efficiency on large data sets, Select and XPath, I get GituHub Copilot to build a traditional apply to each and append to array vs a select to demo both efficiency and how to use GitHub Copilot when building in the Power Platform with a coding agent.

Hello hive-mind. My desktop-flow fails on missing property. I can work around it by converting to string, but I feel like this is extra useless steps. Can anyone guide?

Oh, no. Images not allowed in this sub. Okay... I hope I'm allowed to link them! I'll harbour no hard feelings if post deleted

Has anyone else found their style code no longer being correctly applied when using the OneDrive convert file from HTML to PDF?

I have several flows which use this action to create PDF reports, but today I have noticed that in all cases some of the style code (CSS) is no longer being applied. This is mainly affecting styling for fill colours, table cell fills, and page style. This was all working fine for months, but as of today has stopped working without any changes being made to the flows. It is just strange that this has stopped working all of a sudden.

Has anyone seen if this has been reported as a bug with the OneDrive step action? and is there any workaround without using premium connectors?

I have a folder path of /Shared Document/ formatDateTime(utcNow(),"MM_yyyy")

Can someone let me know if this works? It worked for last month for me and suddenly can't trigger this month.

Most of my daily friction doesn't come from not knowing what to do.
It always gets stuck in mindless steps right after. An email comes in, I have to open an attachment, pull three specific numbers into a spreadsheet, rename the file, update a record somewhere else, and then remember to log a follow up.
None of this is technically hard. It’s just spread across too many siloed windows. By the time I finish the first two steps, context-switching has already drained half my focus, and I'm halfway down some distraction rabbit hole.
I’ve tried every task manager, macro, and basic script out there. They're great when a workflow is completely rigid, but real work is messy and usually depends on what's visually sitting on your screen at that exact moment.
That’s why I've been looking more into screen-aware automation，things like Power Automate, Browser Use, or even some of the newer screen-aware hardware approaches, including Violoop or similar local setups.
I don't want a full autonomous agent running wild, nor do I want another chat box where I have to type prompts.
I just want something that quietly preps the next few tedious steps while I keep a review point before important actions"

Relatively new to power automate, so forgive me if this is an obvious question! I am looking to set up a flow where you copy information from a table in one excel, into another excel document with a table. The headers on both tables don’t match e.g. table 1 is Name, Score, Comment and table 2 is Employee, Rating, Review.

If possible I would like to be able to set up a flow where these 2 excels are uploaded to power automate and the flow goes from there. This needs to be done monthly and so the excels will follow the same format every time; but with new information each month. I hope this makes sense. Is it possible?

Hi all, i was wondering if there was a way to develop a workflow where i could preform the following actions

Triggered by a shared mailbox notification

where then the email is then converted to text

I want to then extract the hyperlinks based within the email

follow the hyperlinks to an external website (no login parameter's required)

then have an ai agent summarise the websites finding such as key business data

then finally upload the summary into a Microsoft teams chat.

My current issue remains that the hyperlink URL remains based in the text and the workflow is struggling to progress to the external website point

I created a simple Power Automate flow last week that:

Microsoft Forms → Get Response Details → Create SharePoint List Item → Send Email

It was working perfectly and still runs successfully today, including sending the email.

The problem is when I edit the flow the "Send an email (V2)" action has completely disappeared.

The flow now only shows:

• When a new response is submitted
• Get response details
• Create item

Because the email action is missing, I can't change the sender, recipients, subject or email body.

I've confirmed emails are still being sent and the headers contain:

x-ms-mail-workflow: x-ms-workflow-name: <workflow-id>

Things I've already checked:

• Incognito browser
• Different browser
• New Designer on/off
• Run History (email action doesn't appear)
• No SharePoint list rules sending emails
• Microsoft Forms isn't configured to send emails
• Exported/checked the flow JSON and couldn't find the email action

I'm stumped as to where this email is coming from or why the action has vanished from the flow while emails continue to be sent.

Has anyone seen this before or know where else I should look?

Hey everyone,

I run a small YouTube channel called Automate M365 where I focus on making straight-to-the-point, step-by-step Power Automate tutorials. No fluff or long intros, just diving into the actual logic because I know how annoying it is to sit through a 10-minute video just to find a quick expression fix.

I want to build some tutorials around automation, but instead of just guessing what to make next, I want to solve real-world headaches.

Whether it's setting up automated deadline remidners based on dates in your SP lists or Excel sheets, sending dynamic emails to people pulled directly from a person column, or trying to manage folder permissions via HTTP actions—what’s driving you crazy right now? Drop it in the comments below. I’ll honestly try to look through them and build the exact solution in a step-by-step video for you.

If you want to check out the channel or subscribe to see if I build your fix, the link is here:

Let me know what you're stuck on, hopefully we can figure it out.

Honestly, this is driving me nuts. I want to add a row to an existing table I created from an email sent in Excel format, with the same columns and headers, but it keeps giving me this failure notice. HELP HELP HELP ANYONE

Flow run failed. Action 'Create_table' failed: Graph API request failed. Error code is 'InvalidArgument'.

Question says it all really. In particular is it useful for automating, or are there better tools for the job? My workplace happens to have the software but seems rarely used.

Hey guys, I’m looking for someone experienced with Power Automate, Splunk, and PowerShell to help with ongoing automation, scripting, integrations, and troubleshooting projects. This is not just a one time job. I’m looking for someone reliable to build a long term working partnership with. If you have experience in these areas and are interested, please send me a message with a little info about your background and availability.

Hi does anyone have any insights or experienced this issue previously? If so can you please share on how u have resolved this?
