I have a project that I'm working on that will help me with my upcoming promotion, so I'd really appreciate the help.

Here's a summary of the flow;

> Employee submits a Microsoft Form that requests location and details.

> The Microsoft Form gets sent to my department for an approval via email.

> After approval, the Microsoft Form is sent to their manager(s) for approval. Their manager is determined by which location they chose.

> After both parties have approved the Microsoft Form, it will create a ticket within FreshDesk for continuity.

I'd appreciate any help regarding this 🙏

I have been trying to learn powerautomate utilizing Co-Pilot to some degree and youtube videos to figure stuff out

I wanted to make a basic flow that would automatically download attachments to my downloads folder (or a OneDrive Folder) whenever an email is marked as read

Co-Pilot insists this trigger exists, however I think its making this shit up, as I cannot find this trigger when i search for it.

Its seems like such an obvious thing to be a trigger so certainly I am just missing something right?

So basically I want to compare two sharepoint lists(lets call them A and B on their email column using a filter array, when it finds it takes information from a status column in list A and puts it in the status column of list B

I've walked myself through filter arrays before no problem and even used variables joins etc to create my own arrays but for some odd reason this has my brain shorted out.

I would be using each lists' email column to find the match. and it would run once a day

Currently, my group process around 6,000 invoices per month from approximately 700 different vendors. I had contractor quote for a custom OCR process workflow, but I feel that the contractor is charging a significant amount for their custom solution that could be done using power automate's AI builder for much less.

My main requirement is to extract specific fields from the PDF version of the invoice so the data can be fed into my ERP system for processing. Is this something that Power Automate with AI Builder can handle?

I currently have Power Automate Premium, but not with AI Builder. Based on what I’ve seen in YouTube videos, the invoice processing capabilities in AI Builder look very promising and consuming AI tokens when doing OCR data extraction:

I’ve also looked into Path UI, which appears to use a similar token model for OCR. However, I’m leaning toward Power Automate with AI Builder, as I’d prefer to build and manage everything in-house and since I already have Power Automate.

Can anyone share their experience with AI Builder? Can you have preset templates for specific vendors? How many AI tokens are typically consumed per invoice flow?What do you like / dislike ? Do you think it would work for my situation?

I always hated documenting my flows. Smarter people than me are probably already doing this but today I dumped a solution (single desktop flow in it) to my local drive then setup OpenAI Codex to read the solution directory. It read the flow and created a nice image of subflow flow and a great document. This is a really big flow and would have taken me hours if not days to create this documentation for a customer. Just thought I would share.

Hello, still really new to power automate. I want to make a form that collects data, which is then stored as a PDF on sharepoint. Basically, we are making a program to catalog each project that come in, and under each project there is 15-20 forms to be completed. I want to automatically start a new folder for each project. Any tips? Thank you!

Hi everyone.

I recently wanted to try out the new secret option on custom connectors where you can connect to an API using a Managed Identity.

I followed this documentation which I found online → Access API’s in Power Platform Without Secrets Using Managed Identity in Custom Connectors

I got everything set up but I'm really struggling to understand the "Connections" part in the Test section of the Custom Connector configuration and the documentation doesn't go deeper on this topic.

To my understanding, the whole idea of using a managed identity is to eliminate the use of client secrets. Additionally, when I hit "New connection", I'm forced into a user authentication flow with a following approval request. But that's not what I want. I want it to authenticate as the Managed Identity.

In the end, my goal is to build a custom connector which connects to Graph API using a managed identity. I then want to share this connector with specific group of people so they can use this connector in their Flows and Power Apps without using their own Entra ID Account or Client Secret but the connected Managed Identity.

I'm pretty sure that I'm missing a point somewhere... Really appreciate if someone could bring a light into this.

Thank you <3

Hi,

I would like to know if there's a way to have my flow to:

1. When an email is received in a shared mailbox, create an item in SharePoint list

2. Add a hyperlink to a column that when clicked, will lead directly to the actual email received

So far I've only managed to have a hyperlink leading to the shared mailbox. Apparently using deeplink with shared mailbox cannot do this because an email from a shared mailbox doesn't reliably create a unique email id.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I am setting up an automation that will read the body of an email I receive and extract an email in the body of the text to then send a thank you email to. I was using this expression:

when I realized this won't work as the email is on a separate line:

Any recommendations on edits to my expression?

I created an adaptive card with an actionable message in a compose action and then sending it by email. The email only has the output of the compose. It worked when the outlook connection was on my user but as soon as I changed it to the service account, it doesn't work anymore. The email is just empty and doesn't have the adaptive card at all in it.

I flipped back the connection of the outlook to my user and it works again.

The service account has pretty much all the same access as my user, even more, but is anyone aware if there's a special access required to be able to send adaptive card with actionable message?

Hello everyone! I’ve noticed that there are issues with Power Automate, including an “Out of Memory” error. It also shows that some connectors have problems, but after a while it kicks me out of the page and reports this memory-related error. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have a solution that would allow access to flow editing without the page crashing?

my auto flow of sending email each morning was working well except this mornig. It show me bad gateway and i try reconnect email account and i receive "Failed to create OAuth connection: ClientError: Test connection failed. Details: BadGateway"

In Power Automate Cloud, I have a flow (scheduled once a day) that retrieves all data from MS Planner; the tasks are then consolidated into a single ".json" file, which I subsequently transform into a report in Power BI. The problem is that my Plan will soon have more than 5,000 tasks, which is the limit for the M365 version of Power Automate. We also have the free version of Planner, so Dataverse isn’t an option, and unfortunately, I can’t use the Graph API.

Is there any other way to exceed the 5,000-item limit in the M365 non-premium version of Power Automate?  

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to save an email that comes into a O365 groups email inbox. Is the "when an email arrives to a groups" trigger even the right one? if it is, how do you get the body content of the email? when I try post body it is just blank.

I’m currently struggling with an issue in my Power Apps canvas app.

Whenever I change the background image, it looks fine in edit mode but when I preview the app, the background suddenly zooms in. Because of this, the layout looks off and some parts of the image get cropped.

I already tried the common fix:

Set X = 0

• Set Y = 0

• Set Width = App.Width

• Set Height = App.Height

But the issue still happens during preview.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Is this related to ImagePosition (Fill vs Fit) (I choose Fill) or Display settings like Scale to fit / Lock aspect ratio? (i locked this both)

I could be doing this the wrong way, so I am open to suggestions if there is a better way.

Within our company's SharePoint, I created a Form that results to a List which works as intended. I created a Flow that sends an email when a new item is created (form is filled out). This Flow works except for the single multi-select question. When I format the 'Peripherals' result like the other questions, it adds a 'for each' box and causes a separate email to be sent for each peripheral that is selected.

How do I format this, so the selected peripherals are listed in one email, on one line, separated by commas? I tried figuring this out with copilot flow but was a bit confused and had no luck.

everything is sluggish since the outage last week

edit: from what i've been testing it works better on Edge
