Haniel Croitoru and I recently had the extreme pleasure of presenting at SharePoint Conference Twin Cities.  This is a great one day conference with one of the largest user bases I have ever seen.  Haniel and I had a great experience presenting on getting help with learning Power Apps and Power Automate (Microsoft Flow).  The presentation is full of tips and tricks from both of us as well.  We had a great room full of attendees with some great interaction.  As promised I have uploaded the slide deck for this session so the attendees can have for themselves.

I recently had the extreme pleasure of presenting at SharePoint Conference Twin Cities.  This is a great one day conference with one of the largest user bases I have ever seen.  I believe the total count of registrants was over 750 and over 400 attended!  One of the sessions I presented was about how easy and efficiently you can integrate multiple systems with Power Apps and Power Automate (Microsoft Flow).  Had a great room full of attendees with some great interaction.  As promised I have uploaded the slide deck for this session so the attendees can have for themselves.

Building Great Solutions with PowerApps and Flow – SPSMontreal

Flow, Office365, PowerApps, SharePoint, SharePoint Online , , , 0

This spring I had the great privilege of speaking in front of a great room of people at SharePoint Saturday Montreal.  At this conference i outlined how easy it was to build a great solution from conception to implementation using just PowerApps, Flow and a few connectors.  In the space of half a session (I had to do some talking too ;-p ) I build a full solution using PowerApps, Flow, SharePoint and Azure Database.  As promised here is the slide deck from my presentation.

Microsoft Flow Trigger “For Selected File” Missing

MicrosoftFlowIcon
Flow, Office365, SharePoint Online , 1

Today I was trying to build a flow that kicked off from the Flow Launch Panel in my library.  To do this for a list you simply need to create a flow based on the trigger “for selected item”.  Once published the Flow Launch Panel is enabled on the list and you can now launch any flows that are attached to the list manually.  You can do this for a library as well.  The difference however is for a library you want to use “for selected file”.  Seems really straight forward and easy right?  Sure if it worked as expected.

Problem: Microsoft Flow Trigger “For Selected File” Missing

So here’s the problem.  When you create a new flow a lot of people select the platform they are working with to decrease the count of the items to choose from.  This one little step is what causes the problem.  Allow me to illustrate.  I created a new flow and wanted my trigger to be when a SharePoint file is selected in a library.  So I created the flow, selected SharePoint and started to type “select” to filter the list.  Here’s what I got:

Microsoft Flow Trigger "For Selected File" Missing - Missing Trigger

Resolution: Easy, But a Workaround

The fix\workaround is so simple I hope Microsoft can fix it soon.  To select the missing trigger, DON’T select SharePoint as the platform.  When you start to type in your filter, it will actually show up before the “for selected item” trigger.

Microsoft Flow Error: Tag Value Too Large

Flow, Office365 , , 1

So today I started creating a new custom approval using Microsoft Flow.  I had been working for about 15 minutes or so and thought to myself that it may be a really good idea for me to save my work because we all know that if I didn’t do it soon something would cause me to lose everything (because initial save hadn’t been accomplished yet.  When I clicked on the save button I received an error I hadn’t received before.  “Tag value to large. Following tag value…exceeded the maximum length.  Maximum allowed length for tag value – ‘256’ characters.
