I read “The Long Walk” in 1-day. So it must be a good book. Right?

I feel good. I managed to record a #CopilotStudio YouTube video in 1 take. This thing is being posted unedited tomorrow.

Except for when I ran out of hard drive space and had to re record some.

My personal website for #PowerApps and #PowerAutomate is now Pagespeed = 100 on desktop. It’s party time!! 🥳

Upcoming Feature Alert 🚨

#PowerApps will soon allow defining security roles by the values in a column (e.g. City equals Seattle) 🔒

Here’s how it will work 😊

It gets yuckier. The fake accounts also do fake charity work.

I am shocked to have 3,000 YouTube subscribers 😳

When did that happen?

#LinkedIn Statistics for 2024 📊
93k Engagements
5.6M Impressions

I do not pay any attention to LinkedIn analytics but I thought I'd share for the heck of it.

TIL there is a "Copy Set Name" feature in #Dataverse 😎

It is super helpful for #PowerAutomate when you are updating a Dataverse lookup and need to know the Entity Set Name.

And the best part is that I wasn't the clever person who figured this out. It was my readers. Thanks guys!

Amazing Tip 🔥🔥🔥

Copy and paste the Fetch XML from #PowerApps into a List Rows action in #PowerAutomate to filter results without writing any code 😎

Pagination is useful when #PowerAutomate requires more records than a single fetch allows 🐘

Always pagination to 100,000 records and the top count to 5,000 records on SharePoint and Dataverse tables 📄

There’s no penalty for doing this. And you’ll get the maximum amount of records very quickly 🐇 ☁️

This #PowerApps code is extremely useful. 💡

- Check if Power Apps is in Studio Mode 🤔

- If yes, use a test account email during development 🐞

- If no, use the user's email when the app is in play mode ▶

Now I don’t need to remove hardcoded testing values when I deploy apps to production ❤

I wrote a how-to guide about connecting #PowerAutomate to #ServiceNow. 🤝

There were a few things I learned during the process 🧐

- ServiceNow dev instances can be created for free and have minimal setup. Great for practicing on.
