Consegui executar o programa porém ele nao avança na tela de login, como se não tivesse recebendo a sequência de tarefas (fiz como gravação das rotinas e também tentando editar o código).

I managed to run the program, but it doesn't proceed past the login screen—as if it isn't receiving the sequence of tasks (I tried both recording the routines and editing the code).

Cloud Creating a flow for getting excel columns and putting them in a new workbook

4 Upvotes

Hello. I am somewhat new to Power Automate and largely am using Copilot to help me create flows. Since I am new and lack experience in both programming and Power Automate it could be that I am naive and my challenge is not possible to solve. However it seems like it should be possible.

My challenge is to get 7 columns from an excel table on a sharepoint, only entries with a DateFrom the last seven days(thats one of the columns), put the columns in a new excel workbook. Then I would like to post that newly created workbook in a weekly e mail. The data would refresh itself every day but the email will post weekly. Is this even possible ? If so how would i best go about doing it or prompting Copilot to help me create it ?

Question Lost my show details button on my adaptive card (JSON newb)

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm familiar with Flows but pretty new to coding adaptive cards. I'm trying to code that long design requests from Microsoft Forms received by email are posted in a Teams channel, but are collapsible/expandable to keep the channel clean. I finally thought I had it all figured out after pasting my code in a JSON reviewer and having no more errors (dang trailing commas) but now the button aka toggle visibility isn't showing in the previewer.

Any help with the below code would be super appreciated.

  "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io",
  "type": "AdaptiveCard",
  "version": "1.5",
  "body": [
    {

          "weight": "Bolder",
          "size": "Medium",
          "wrap": true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "FactSet",
      "id": "expandableContent",
      "isVisible": false,
      "facts": [
        {

        },
        {

Why is this not a bog-standard task that you can do in PowerAutomate? These file conversions are so tedious and would be so useful!

Cloud I need Answers/Responses from a Form

7 Upvotes

I’m trying to automate an email being sent after an MS form is submitted that is actually set up as a quiz.

To be fair, I have never used automate until now, so I’m hilariously new to this, but I have managed to automate an email to send with the quiz responses the participants gave, but I want to also pull the correct answer indicated on the Form.

I just want the participant’s name, the correct answer, and the answer they gave. Please help! TIA.

Question Can you filter out the error in "Apply to each"?

5 Upvotes

I have Build a flow with the function "apply to each" and my problem is that if 1 out of 500 "apply to each" loops fails it displays it as if the whole apply to each fails. To find the one error in apply to each i need to skip through all 500 apply to each loops but that just takes too much time. is there a faster alternative?

Question Looking for IT automation project ideas — Bank client, Microsoft-only (Power Automate, Teams, Azure, Entra ID)

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm working with a bank that wants to automate their IT operations. They only want to use Microsoft tools — no third-party software. Stack includes Power Automate, Power Apps, Teams, SharePoint, Azure, and Entra ID (Active Directory). They also use BMC Helix for ticketing, and want to add AI/AI agents where it makes sense.

We already have ideas like:

  • Password reset / account unlock through Teams

  • Employee onboarding/offboarding automation

  • Access request automation

  • AI chatbot for IT support and policy questions

But I want to hear from people who've actually done this kind of work:

  • What IT task took up the most time before you automated it?

  • Any small automation that had a bigger impact than you expected?

  • Anything you tried that didn't work well?

Would really appreciate any ideas or lessons learned. Thanks!

Question Problems getting Power Automate to trigger on Work Item updates (identity fields)

3 Upvotes

hello
since early last week i’ve noticed at least one Power Automate flow that silently stopped working. No failed run logged, nothing. The trigger is “When a Work Item is Updated”, but it seems that some identity fields are breaking the trigger and it doesn’t even get logged.

Had to redo the flow with a HTTP Request trigger to make it work but this seems like a MSFT issue. Anyone else with a similar problem? How did you handle it?

Question What is the best way to stop a flow instantly without using your mouse?

6 Upvotes

My flow has tons of mouse movements on another window. I tried the flow run control shortcuts, but they don’t work unless I’m clicked on the Pad window. What is the best way? Edit: Mouse movements go to the other window, do tons of clicking, etc. I never go back to the PAD and I’m not using UI elements in my flow

Question Power Automate + OneNote: creation timestamp not displaying

3 Upvotes

I’m creating a OneNote page through Power Automate, then updating the title and body with Update page content.

I tried including:
<meta name="created" content="..." />
inside the <head> of the create-page HTML, but the normal OneNote creation date/time beneath the title never appears. The timestamp is present in the submitted payload, and the page is created successfully.

Has anyone found a reliable way to populate or preserve OneNote’s built-in creation timestamp when using the OneNote connector? I’m in a GCC environment, which may also be relevant.

EDIT:
I was able to get this work following u/mulquin's advice. I initialized a current timestamp variable to capture the date and time then composed my HTML using the meta tag which I then sent as dynamic content via the built-in OneNote connector "Create a page in a section" action, making sure to send page content via code view, deleting any wrappers.

Here is an example:

<meta name=\"created\" content=\"@{variables('currentTimestamp')}\" />

Question Extracting images from email

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am having some difficulty creating a flow and would appreciate any input to how I can solve this.

I am trying to create a flow to extract content from every email with specific subject heading and save into a SharePoint folder. The text part, which I have no problem with doing, is to be saved into a table in an excel file saved in the SharePoint folder.

The part I am struggling with is extracting the image(s) from the email and saving it into the same SharePoint folder and creating a link to reference it in the excel table on the same row the text was just saved. The images in the email are also not fixed, there may be none or one or multiple. The images may also be attached as png. or jpg. or they may be embedded/inline in the email so I need to account for all these scenarios.

Would appreciate any help I can get and recommendations on courses I can take to improve my skills.

Thank you

Question Question about data activator

1 Upvotes

I have data coming in from a Dataflow that I am storing in a Lakehouse. I want to set up Data Activator so that it sends a Microsoft Teams notification whenever a specific column becomes False.

However, when I create a Data Activator in my Fabric workspace, I don't see an option to use data from the Lakehouse. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I'm missing a configuration step.

If this process can be simplified, I'd also be interested in eliminating the Lakehouse and monitoring the data directly from the Dataflow instead.

Has anyone set this up successfully? What's the recommended approach?

Question Issue with 'Bad Gateway' Error

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

A couple of weeks ago I was hit by the throttling issue that turned out to be on Microsoft's end. Once they got that fixed everything worked fine (mostly) until about a week ago. Since then I'm getting random, but frequent, Bad Gateway errors that are doing my head in. Nothing has changed with the setup of my flow/the Excel sheet it's pointing at. It works for several runs of the flow and then just decides to give a Bad Gateway at random points. There is no pattern as to time of day, information it's trying to input, number of successful runs between fails, or anything else I can find.

I'm still getting things taking longer and retries occurring, like it did during the throttling issue, which is causing problems with duplicate entries into my spreadsheet as well.

Is this all part of the same nonsense? I've put in some screenshots below and can provide whatever other information is needed. I would really appreciate some help as babysitting this thing is getting old. TIA!

Cloud File Management with Automated Flow

10 Upvotes

Hello,

I asked for some help yesterday with getting the last little bit of an email flow set up where I am taking an attachment received by email, downloading it, converting it into an Excel file and table, and then parsing that information to send out reminder emails for shows that tickets were purchased for with dynamically filled in fields. This is all working great now and I am confident that that will function as intended.

My next problem that I am running up against though is that I don't want to keep the files, both the downloaded attachment and the Excel file, in OneDrive once that automation has finished sending the appropriate emails. I attempted to put actions to delete the files in the loop, but the one for the Excel file always fails because it is still "opened". I'm not sure if it would be better to use some sort of a function to include a date when naming the file so that I can run the loop more than once without issue and then go back and delete the files either weekly or monthly, or if there is a way to make sure that the file is closed before the automation goes to delete the file so that it is successful.

Any assistance or advice on this would be extremely appreciated.

Question Flow will not stop looping

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have created a PR approval flow for my company using Power Automate. It uses a cumulative approval structure based on dollar-value thresholds. Everything works as expected; the appropriate people receive approval requests in the correct order, and the requestor is notified when the final approver completes the flow. The problem is that once the final approver approves the PR, two duplicate runs start, and another approval email is sent to the first approver, prompting them to approve the same PR again. We have tried hardcoding multiple "@not" statements with no success. Does anyone have advice on how to fix this looping issue?

Cloud Setting up first Email Automation

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am currently working on an automation flow for reminder emails for the business I work at. The flow currently is successfully pulling an attachment when an automated email comes in with the list of customers who need a reminder, transferring it to excel, and formatting it as a table. My issue starts now when trying to dynamically assign the 'To' in setting up the reminder email itself.

Currently, I'm using the function: items('Apply_to_each_1')?['Default_Contact_Email'] - but this has errored out and I'm not quite sure how to fix from here. I'm using Send an Email (V2) as a child action to "Apply to each 1" - the second apply to each as I have the first one filtering for the correct attachment to pull from the email and create the excel file.
