Looks like this could be the end of Power Platform CoE Starter Kit updates. March 2026 update never arrived. We all knew this moment was coming eventually as Microsoft's priorities shifted away from low-code platform governance tooling and into all things AI instead.

🟦 Power Automate - Stop Manual Invoice Entry in 15 Minutes

Ditch manual invoice entry with an M365 workflow you can build in 15 minutes. I summarize a SharePoint plus Power Automate pattern that grabs email attachments and extracts invoice fields using AI and Copilot. No third party tools or custom builds required 🚀. Ideal for AP teams seeking faster approvals and fewer errors.

💡 SharePoint autofill columns
🔍 Power Automate email to library flow
⚖️ Copilot invoice status queries

#PowerAutomate #ElevenLabs #VoiceAI #Automation

I made a flow in Power Automate that takes a flagged email, creates a new folder in Outlook with the received date, the sender, and the subject as the name for the new folder (eg '2026-02-05.BillLumbergh.Send TPS report').

After that, it creates a task in Microsoft Planner with the subject line, and includes the body of the email in the description, and a hyperlink to the original email that opens in Outlook.

🟦 Prevent Unnecessary Flow Runs in Power Automate

Stop wasted runs and protect your API quota with trigger discipline. Use trigger conditions to keep flows from starting unless needed. Add a Terminate action to halt risky runs. Use Dataverse SDK bypass for bulk or system updates.

💡 Trigger condition prefilters
🔍 Early terminate action
⚖️ Dataverse SDK bypass

Last week, Microsoft messed up the Power Automate flow designer and had t to roll back the new version. That's just one sad episode in the automation UX saga: https://www.perspectives.plus/p/the-ux-for-automation-still-sux

Now when #PowerAutomate and #LogicApps are parting ways, the future of cloud flows especially on the tooling front is shakier than ever. Sure, Agent Flows in #CopilotStudio will be promoted. But what about non-AI automation scenarios?

🟦 Automating Smart Approval Cancellations

Orphaned approvals can stall flows and confuse teams. Mike Givens demos a Dataverse pattern to add timeouts reminders and automatic cleanup.

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.

Accessing the code behind Power Automate cloud flows is too damn hard. So I created a bookmarklet that helps you grab the flow JSON.

Now you can paste it to your favorite AI low-coding tool and ask it to review the logic. Click "Copy JSON" for full code, "Copy for AI" if you want to save tokens.

Do this:
1) Drag the button to your browser favorites.
2) Get GUID of your #PowerAutomate flow.
3) Open model-driven #PowerApps
4) Click bookmarklet, enter the GUID
5) Profit!

🟦 Cloud Flows vs Agent Flows: Quick guide

Choosing the right automation approach can save time and cost—here’s a clear comparison to help. 🚀

💡 Cloud Flows: event, schedule or manual triggers;

🧠 Weil es so oft durcheinander geht: Welche Aufgaben im Arbeitsalltag kann man automatisieren? Braucht es dafür immer zwingend generative KI?

Bei meiner Schulung "Microsoft 365 Copilot für Professionals" haben wir uns angeschaut, wann der Funktionsumfang von #PowerAutomate ausreicht und welche Möglichkeiten #CopilotStudio darüber hinaus bietet.

(Dass es im Hintergrund Verbindungen zwischen den beiden Anwendungen gibt, haben wir natürlich auch besprochen.)

Want the step‑by‑step checklist or a short demo? #PowerAutomate #RPA #UIAutomation #NoCode

Here's how the Dataverse database capacity increases, based on whether you have Power Platform, Dynamics 365 CRM or Dynamics 365 ERP licenses as the "top" SKU.

As a reminder, #Dataverse add-on capacity is expensive AF. $40/GB, per month. So, #Dynamics365 CRM customers now get $9,600/y worth of new GBs. With #PowerApps or #PowerAutomate premium, you get half of that. With ERP - well, you're already paying a fortune for D365 FinOps anyway.😜
