From the makers of "Microsoft Teams team" come 2 new names for the Power Platform vocabulary:

"App Builder app"
"Workflows Agent workflows"

Featuring Microsoft 365 Copilot, of course.😏

App Insights. Connect your Power Apps to Application Insights. It gives you telemetry on user behavior. "Nobody is clicking the 'Submit' button." Maybe it's because the button is off-screen on an iPad? App Insights tells you what users do, not what they say.

You can't make this s*** up:

Monday: Microsoft silently replaces the #PowerAutomate cloud flow designer with a "new" version. Everybody hates it, nothing fits on a screen anymore, performance is awful on bigger flows.

Wednesday: Microsoft reverts things back to the new designer that GA'd in Nov 2023 and still had issues compared to the classic one.

All because they're hell-bent on making flows a child feature of Copilot Studio as Agent Flows.

Power Automate cloud flows: new desginer (GA 2023-11) vs. "new" designer (already gone).

We moved the logic of our FinModeler financial modeling app, built in #PowerApps, to use the new Dataverse SDK for Python.

It used to take ~10 minutes to generate the full Excel workbooks with dynamic formulas. Now, the same output takes a few seconds.🤯

Yeah, using Office Scripts and Excel as the engine originally was a bit crazy. But it was the #lowcode way for us #PowerPlatform folks. Now, with #Dataverse, #Python and some Azure Functions, we're on another level.💪

Some Power Automate JSON queries look completely wrong, but Power Automate runs them anyway!

I used to explore how far this goes and uncovered 45 valid query patterns, including several I wouldn’t expect to work. This explains why.

I can't recall seeing Microsoft product teams mess up the Dataverse table settings this badly before. What they've managed to do with the latest Microsoft Planner update is a cautionary tale of how a small code change (by an AI agent?) can wreak havoc:

Power Automate can read up to 100,000 Excel rows, but in scheduled flows this is capped at 5,000. Here’s why and a simple parent/child flow workaround to read large Excel tables on a schedule.

Environment Variables for Data Source connection strings. Hardcoding SharePoint URLs in your Power App? 🚩 What happens when Dev moves to Test? Use Env Vars. The app automatically points to the new site. Magic.

Even the strongest locks mean nothing if the doors are left wide open. Power Platform’s built-in security is only as strong as the governance practices protecting it. Without governance, you’re just hoping for the best. Here’s why that’s not enough.
