Power Automate provides some incredibly powerful capabilities around business process automation, especially within the context of Dynamics 365 and the Dataverse. From automating simple tasks such as automatically generating subfolders whenever a parent folder is created to tasks requiring complex conditional logic, Power Automate flows can handle the brunt of your automated business processes and so much more.
Here at Beringer, we play with technology all the time.
We're deep into cutting edge technologies like…

You may not be aware of what these technologies are, but you shouldn't let that scare you away from an internship in technology.
Recently, we encountered an issue with Dynamics 365 where the Activity Dropdown no longer displays options for activities when attempting to add them directly to the related record. It would display a message stating "No Options Available" or it would stay stuck "Loading" like in the below screenshot.
If you're like most D365 organizations, you use background workflows. Depending on the nature of your business, you likely have custom plugins embedded in many of those background workflows. While Microsoft hasn't officially announced the deprecation of background workflows, they are recommending that you transition to using MS Flows.
Recently I had a customer that had a runaway data increase of their Activity Pointer Base table. It would grow about 4-5GB each weekend. We looked for the usual suspects such as inline images, amount of email being sent on the weekend, and nothing really seemed to stick out.
Microsoft Power Automate provides rich and powerful tools, connectors, and logic to automate many common business processes within Dynamics 365 and the Dataverse as a whole. With flow functionality slowly replacing legacy Dynamics 365 workflows, Power Platform administrators and customizers now more than ever have the ability to build automations up and across to other products and solutions using various data connectors.
In a previous blog, we covered how you can populate a Word document template using Power Automate. In addition to populating plain text fields in a doc, you can also Use Power Automate and JSON to populate Document Tables using the Repeating Section Content Control.
If you've played with Power Automate, Microsoft's new workflow tool, you've likely come across some JSON-related content. If you've never worked in software development, this may be the first time you've seen data formatted this way; you've likely only seen XML-formatted data in applications like Microsoft Dynamics 365. In this blog, we'll break down the key things to know about JSON and how you can use it to create powerful Flows for your business.
As you may already know, Microsoft pushes out two upgrades to Dynamics 365 Online each year. The upgrades, known as Wave 1 and Wave 2, are pushed out to Dynamics customers in different regions around the globe on dates set by Microsoft. Dynamics 2022 Wave 2 is finally here.
Dynamics 365 is known for its plethora of components and subcomponents, including entities, forms, views, charts, fields, and much more. Many of these components have had their administration functionality altered, or have had their names changed altogether (e.g., "entities" are now "tables"; "fields" are now "columns"), with the introduction of the Power Platform.
