PowerApps for Business Users & Consultants: Episode 6- Embedding Canvas App in Model Driven App

Hi Readers and Viewers

In this episode, we are going to look at, How to embed a canvas app into a model driven app.

We talk about the following limitations:

  1. One canvas app per model driven form.
  2. Changes in each app must be published separately to reflect.

We talk about some tips:

  1. Change format of the section of the field where you have enabled canvas app control.
  2. Make the field appear in the middle of section so that your canvas app can get most space.
  3. Rename the display name of the field to something small so that it takes less space.
  4. If you’re adding control to a very important field like ‘Account Name’ maybe add it twice on the form on different location.

We look at different layouts where the app looks better:

  • One column tab
  • Two columns tab
  • Three columns tab

How To Update An Opportunity From Opportunity Close And Send An Email on Opportunity Close, Using MS Flows? (No Code Solution)

Hello Readers & Viewers

In this video, i am showing ‘How to send an email with information from Opportunity Close form, using MS Flows?’. This flow will also help you to update opportunities from opportunity close form, it’s the same concept.

Many of you might know that using the native workflow functionality of Dynamics 365 you can’t achieve this; as ‘opportunity close’ is not in the entity list of workflows. Opportunity close is a type of activity and ‘Activities’ are also not available in the workflow entity list except for a few common one’s like calls, email, tasks, appointments etc.

Doesn’t matter, does it?

With Microsoft Flows you can achieve this and you can do things like:

  • Send an email on opportunity close
  • Send an email on opportunity close with information from opportunity close form
  • Update an opportunity from opportunity close form

We used to do all this with a plugin earlier and now its so easy.

Hope it helps!
