A business process is a collection of related and structured tasks or activities that help to achieve business goals. These sets of activities are to be executed in order to meet the end-to-end business scenarios. Business process aligns business functions with customer needs and helps executives determine how to measure and monitor a company's business. Such a process has the potential to increase efficiency and productivity, reduce costs, and minimize mistakes and risks. In Dynamics CRM 2013, Microsoft introduced a new feature known as Business Process Flow and now it is deeply integrated with Microsoft Power Platform. This flow guides one or more end users through a defined process to accomplish a multi-step task. Consistent processes help ensure that people using the system can focus on their work and not on remembering to perform a set of manual steps. Processes can be simple or complex and may change over time. A business process flow visually guides a user through stages wit...

App creators and developers always face such challenges regarding unexpected behavior of apps and spend time to find the root cause of the problem which is called as troubleshooting. Troubleshooting is a systematic and logical approach to solving a problem. The main reason for troubleshooting is to determine why something doesn't work as expected and how to fix the problem. Automated workflow processes play a vital role in the success of businesses, and if a workflow fails, it is important that it be notified immediately. Exception handling is a mechanism that allows Power Automate to deal with and recover from unexpected situations and problems that may arise during flow runs. Microsoft Flow Connector allows us to connect/integrate services, applications, and third-party applications. A connector is a proxy or wrapper around an API that allows others to communicate. Microsoft Flow Connectors tell Microsoft Flow which APIs to use, and what requests and responses they support.

Error handling refers to the prediction, detection and resolution of known or unknown errors and error handling is important because it makes it easier for the end users of our code to use it correctly. Most programs are very large, very complex and are written by many developers. This combination of factors also always leads to bugs. Error-handling techniques can resolve runtime errors or reduce their impact by adopting appropriate counter-measures depending on the environment.  Automated workflow processes play a vital role in the success of businesses, and if a workflow fails, it is important that we are notified immediately. Exception handling is a mechanism that allows Power Automate to deal with and recover from unexpected situations and problems that may arise during flow runs. In the flow, App makers can implement the Configure run after option. This option and email notification is beneficial in helping us to solve our workflow running problems faster. flow's default ...

An expression is important for part of a programming language, it is a combination of one or more constants, variables, functions and operators and, after computation, it returns the appropriate value. Such a process in mathematical terminology is called evaluation. According to Microsoft Doc, In Power Automate, expressions are a set of simple functions that enable you to return data. With expressions, we can perform operations on strings, dates, and numbers. We can convert data from one type to another, perform mathematical operations, parse data and manipulate data to get what we need. Expressions in Power Automate are designed through a combination of functions, variables and dynamic content. These operations and much more are possible by taking advantage of the built-in expression language. Power Automate, like Azure Logic Apps, leverages workflow definition language to write expressions. Power Automate facilitates a simple approach to creating automated workflows with a rich UI de...

Certainly, canvas apps provide a platform where anyone can design/develop apps. They have to drag and drop controls on a blank canvas app visual tool and design a user interface. Building apps with PowerApps makes everyone from business analysts to professional developers work together more efficiently. When solving business problem with intuitive visual tools, performance is the key factor that determines the success or failure of apps. App performance indicates how the app is working and how the app is responding to the end user. Poor performance has many consequences, but the main reason of bad performance is poor design of fundamental architecture or design features. Such poor performance impacts on customer relationships, business failures, lost income and more. In Canvas Apps, Microsoft provides best standards and practices which helps in developing efficient and robust apps. During the design of canvas apps, the app makers must also take care of the best use of each component. T...

Data works as fuel in the business world. Connector provides the bridge between data source and power apps and power platform. Connector is core component of power platform. A connector may provide table of data or action.  A connector can provide a table of data or action. However, Microsoft offers over 300 different connectors, it also allows creating custom connectors for communication between different apps. All connectors sit on a hosting environment that is owned by Microsoft. As we know a connector is a wrapper or proxy around an API that interacts between power automate or power apps and back end service or data source. It allows a bi-directional communication and can access data form both cloud and on premises servers.
