Study Notes
Power Automate Cloud Flow Creation & Modification
- Power Automate offers three flow creation methods:
- Start from blank: Choose a trigger type and add actions.
- Start from template: Utilize pre-built templates for specific needs (e.g., remote work, notifications).
- Start from connector: Begin with a connector and build from there.
Flow Types
- Automated cloud flow: Triggered by connector activity (e.g., message arrival, document creation).
- Instant (button) cloud flow: Triggered by a user action (e.g., button click, file selection).
- Scheduled cloud flow: Launches at a specific date/time and optionally repeats.
- Desktop flow: Created using the Power Automate Desktop app.
Working with Flows
- Workspace canvas: Displays the flow's trigger and actions after configuration.
- Add actions: Use the "New step" button or insert between steps.
- Parallel branches: Create parallel actions using the "Add a parallel branch" option.
- Condition actions: Use "If yes" and "If no" branches to perform different actions based on conditions (e.g., email importance).
- Dynamic content: Access data from the trigger or previous actions within the flow.
- Data operation actions (Compose, Create CSV/HTML table, Filter array, Join, Parse JSON, Select): Modify and reformat data in flows for compatibility and usability.
Modifying Flows
- Modify connections: Change user accounts and add new connections for triggers or actions.
- Template modification: Configure required fields (e.g., folders, sites) within templates to achieve desired outcomes.
Testing Flows
- Test button: Enables manual testing of flow execution using sample data.
- Test Flow pane: Allows testing with simulated trigger actions, prior data, or data from the trigger app.
- Monitoring execution: View success (checkmark) or failure (X) of each step.
- Detailed step information: Access input and output data for each step, including error details for failed steps.
