  • Working with Flow
  • Most common queries/filters
  • No code only

  • All about flow and everything about flow except coding

PowerApps & Flow User Group App for Leaders, Hosts, Organisers and Coordinators

Hello Readers and Viewers

As User Group organisers, it becomes difficult for us to track the attendance of participants mostly due to the format of the meeting. In our last week’s UG we were prepared to break the ice and created an app to check in attendees.

Following is what you can do with the app:

  1. Register attendees as members
  2. Update member details
  3. Check In attendees
  4. Draw Raffle (if and when it’s available)

What can you get out of it:

  1. Track the attendance of your members
  2. If members are not regular, send them a survey for what they want to see
  3. Send them a FormsPro survey to get feedback
  4. Keep member details up to date
  5. Instead of drawing raffle the conventional way, use PowerApps

Note: Shuffle formula and collection is used for Raffle draw

Data Source: OneDrive (Excel Web)

Tables used: Registered Members and Checked In Members to draw raffle

If you’re a User Group leader and want to use this app; you don’t really have to make any changes except for the connection and start using it. I have uploaded it on github. More instructions on there:

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.

Watch the video here:

Hope it helps!

Happy CRMing!
