Over the past week, working on the Power Platform, I have used PowerFX, OData, JSON, Liquid, Javascript, HTML, CSS, YAML & Powershell. I think my job is safe from AI for maybe 12 months or so... ;-)

The Power Platform is like giving a superpower to the office problem-solver. But great power usually requires great troubleshooting!

JSON: Objects And Arrays - hiredgun.tech What denotes a JSON array and what constitutes a single object?

The latest of my blogs on JSON in Power Automate. I've had a couple of back-to-basics questions from recent posts that hopefully I've answered. There's no doubt integrating the PP with cloud APIs is both frustrating and fascinating in equal measures! hiredgun.tech/objects-and-arrays

I found adding the hashtags a little vexing initially. The API documentation is certainly a lot clearer than it was for Twitter when I built a bot there a few years ago.

In recent posts, I’ve discussed how you can build flexibility into your flows if the JSON data returned by an API contains a null or an empty string. In my latest post, I explain how you can validate that the API has returned all required data

OK. I've got Power Automate hooked up to the Bluesky API, for automated posting. Not sure I'll use it, but good to have it in the toolbox. It's a two-step process requiring a new bearer token for each post. Will add details to the blog when I get chance.

My 2 highlights from Wednesday's #Ignite. 1) Using AI to extract content in canvas & model-driven apps. 2) AI based connectors to 3rd parties. Thought provoking stuff!

Microsoft's Autonomous Agents Will Revolutionize the Future of Work
YouTube video by Lisa Crosbie Microsoft's Autonomous Agents Will Revolutionize the Future of Work

Autonomous agents are a big theme in #ignite. Created in Copilot Studio, they are triggered automatically similar to an instant flow. But while flows are imperative, autonomous agents are declarative. Lisa Crosbie explains clearly and succinctly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu1I...

The Ignite Day 1 highlight for me? Definitely the new Power Platform Admin Centre. Looks really good, well structured and so much new stuff. And at last all the PP licensing will be consolidated in just the one place! #Ignite #powerplatform
