Microsoft Power Automate for Power Apps developers
- Description
- Curriculum
- FAQ
- Reviews
If you are a PowerApps developer, you know very well that there are some limitations especially when it comes to performing background tasks. Power Automate is a great extension to Power Apps functionality. This course is all about utilizing Power Automate capabilities to extend your PowerApps project.
This course is not a Power Automate training course. It is all about:
-
Understanding scenarios that Power Automate Flow can help solve a PowerApps limitation
-
Learning how to call Power Automate Flow from PowerApps
-
Learning to exchange simple and complex parameters between PowerApps app and Power Automate Flow
-
Understanding scenarios that Power Automate can be called indirectly from PowerApps without using a direct trigger
-
How to build non-sequential workflows using PowerApps and Power Automate integration
-
Security and permission delegation between PowerApps and Power Automate
-
Building and using Shared Mailbox in PowerApps – Power Automate integration
-
Understanding Power platform environments
-
Deploying solutions that involve PowerApps and Power Automate integration to different environments
-
Learning how to call REST APIs from Power Apps using custom connectors and Power Automate
-
Using REST APIs to break complex Power Automate Flows to smaller and more manageable flows.
Please keep that in mind that this is an intermediate level course. It is a bit fast pace and requires basic knowledge of PowerApps and Power Automate. Feel free to message instructor in case you need help understanding basic concepts to continue with this course.

Before we start, lets see how ready you are
JSON, Power Apps and Power Automate
-
10
Understanding the difference
Understanding the difference between synchronous and asynchronous calls
-
11
Creating a PowerApps app that fires a Flow and monitors the outcome
Let's plan out the work and do our work setup
-
12
Enabling synchronous call on Power Automate Flow
-
13
PowerApps-Power automate call isn't perfect
Does PowerApps lock the screen when synchronous call is in progress?
What happens when we navigate to another screen?
Let's find out!
-
14
Typical considerations
-
15
Simple vs complex input parameters for Power Automate Flow
-
16
Understanding JSON/Complex parameters
In this lecture we learn how to pack multiple parameters in a JSON string.
-
17
Processing a JSON/Complex parameter inside Power Automate Flow
In this lecture we create the Flow that accepts the JSON string, parses the properties and inserts the values to SharePoint list.
-
18
Do we really need to use JSON parameters while we can use simple values instead?
In this lecture we discuss about the reasons for using JSON instead of simple parameters.
-
19
Capturing return values from Flow call
-
20
Let's practice what we learned so far - Project definition
In this lecture and next 3 lectures we build a project to experience the design process and data modeling for message exchange between PowerApps and Power Automate
-
21
Creating SharePoint lists for project
Let's create lists for the project inside SharePoint
-
22
Building a complex JSON object inside PowerApps
In this lecture we create a PowerApps screen that creates order object in JSON format with an array of order items inside it.
-
23
Processing the complex JSON order in Power Automate Flow
This is the post important lecture in this course.
In this lecture you will learn how to process a complex JSON object sent from PowerApps, in Power Automate and send every property to the right list in SharePoint.

Is it really necessary?
-
25
Let's actually call a Flow from PowerApps without PowerApps trigger
Let's see how we can actually fire a Flow without PowerApps Trigger
-
26
Workflow scenarios are not as simple as the client thinks
-
27
Creating PowerApps part of our project
-
28
Completing the project by building the Flow and testing it
-
29
Preparing security and licensing
-
30
Difference between direct or indirect calls in security
-
31
Saving on licensing fees using Power Automate
-
32
Better alternative to Power Automate - Logic Apps
In this lecture we discuss Power Automate limitations for large implementations and have a quick introduction to Logic Apps.
-
33
Warnings on indirect call between PowerApps and Power Automate
Let's summarize what we learned so far in this section and get aware of potential issues
