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.

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 😊 1/3

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

I am shocked to have 3,000 YouTube subscribers 😳 When did that happen?

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. 1/3

#CopilotStudio has a free-tier just like #PowerApps. So why do I never hear about the free-tier? On the free-tier you can use all standard #PowerPlatform connectors and you must publish the bot to #MSTeams. Check out this comparison in the licensing guide.
