    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.
