Introducing Copilot in Power Automate & NEW Cloud Flow Designer

[@drywinddotnet]

This is FANTASTIC. Great job explaining two new major features in one video.

[@RezaDorrani]

Thank You! The features are outstanding

[@aescamilla]

Yet another excellent video from Reza, thank you for taking the time to explain the new features coming to power automate platform, it’s absolutely amazing how far we’ve come with this new technology. Thank you so much for taking the time to go into the details of this wonderful technology! You’re a shining beacon that helps many people like me navigate the complex waters of automation. Thank you again.

[@RezaDorrani]

Thank You so much Angel for the appreciation

[@TheKermit2110]

really great detail Reza, without it being over-powering to absorb. Thanks very much

[@RezaDorrani]

Awesome! Thanks for watching

I found myself saying "At f***ing last!" as you were showing some of the improvements to the designer 😀

[@RezaDorrani]

The new designer is AWESOME!

[@chap666ish]

@@RezaDorrani Oh damn. This isn't yet available for environments in the United Kingdom 😞

[@RezaDorrani]

@@chap666ish No. Create a preview env in US region to try it out.

[@chap666ish]

@@RezaDorrani That's a good idea to try the preview, thanks. But all our apps, flows & data gateways are in the UK region, so I'll have to wait a while longer before I can really start to benefit from the new designer.

[@RezaDorrani]

@@chap666ish Definitely wait to try it out with production scenarios. But to give it a try, preview environment is the only option today. I hope the video gave a good sense of how it works.

[@stretch233]

Another great video Reza! Thanks for always giving great examples for how to do different things, I’ve learned a lot from you.

[@RezaDorrani]

Most welcome

I'm a HUGE fan of Shane Young and April Dunham.. but, If I had choose, you're the best/my favorite of those three. As I commented on one of Shane's videos, I'd completely useless with this stuff if not for the 3 of you (and I'm sure there's plenty of others on YT with equally good content.. but, between Reza, Shane, and April, I've never felt the need to seek out anyone else).

[@RezaDorrani]

Thanks so much. However, everyone is unique and have their own teaching style. I feel there are many others who create amazing content apart from us.

[@mukhlisz]

this is such an amazing feature. thanks for sharing Reza!

[@RezaDorrani]

Glad you like it!

[@cmacdhon]

Thank you Reza. Another great video.

[@RezaDorrani]

[@sammir6859]

I noticed in your last demo there was an option to change the frequency in which the flow will check the trigger. Does this allow users to get over the 15 minute default and change to something like every 10 seconds and it'll work or are there catches to that? 15:17

[@RezaDorrani]

I dont remember the video or the last demo. Can you point me to that?

[@sammir6859]

@RezaDorrani thanks for the quick reply. It's the third demo in this video at 15:17 you can see it asks 'how often you want to check for items' at the bottom of your trigger settings where you're adding the list name for When item is created.

[@RezaDorrani]

@@sammir6859 By default it is instant. So no need to set that. Thats for scenarios where you would want it to check in larger timeframes and the trigger would then return an array of items.

[@niiivee9388]

Hi Reza, excellent video! How do we add images to email body with this new version? Cannot find option to edit code view

[@ibeeali]

Hi Reza, thank you for another great video. I keep getting an error, and my flow fails at the Condition Level when trying to follow your steps in sending an email if the ratings is below 5 stars. Any help is appreciated!

[@RezaDorrani]

I have not come across the mentioned issue and hence not sure what the fix for your issue is. I recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

[@dougydoe]

Wow! Copilot will make our lives a bit much easier I think, Great video again. Do you know when this is likely to hit out Tenants? Not sure if it was only me but I think we lost a bit of audio getting to the end.... where you were explaining the issue when checking to see if amount was less than 50.

[@RezaDorrani]

Currently, copilot is only available for preview type environments in US region. No announcements have been made on when it is expected to rollout to all tenants. The audio at the end was intentionally muted. The muted section was to show that there can be errors even if flow is successful saved. There was an expression error during runtime.

[@Bigsby_]

@@RezaDorrani Do you know if that is the same for the new cloud flow designer?

[@RezaDorrani]

@@Bigsby_ Yes, same

This is going to help me a lot! 🎉! Thanks for sharing.

[@knoxlam4909]

I can see this is going to save me time on building flows for the clients, and i can jump in there to customize it for more advanced stuff The new cloud flow designers seems a lot better than the traditional one I can finally stop writing the expressions in notepad due to lack of visibility 🤣 Viewing nested flow actions are also so much easier

[@RezaDorrani]

Glad to hear that!

[@Kristineguidry]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I working in healthcare regulatory and I have been trying to automate my incident report submission for tracking and trending purposes!!! I cant wait to share this with our Leadership team. I successfully worked through the video but I am experiencing one hiccup. The steps you showed at the end of your video for receiving email notifications from Forms submission in Groups, is it possible to receive emails when new incident reports are submitted? I couldn't figure out how to set this automation up. I tried using those steps, but it failed. Do you have any direction?? Thanks, Reza!

[@RezaDorrani]

I have done multiple videos on Microsoft Forms and power automate. I will recommend checking those.

[@rockninja213]

Really awesome feature thanks Reza Great example. I have one question can we replace data in Excel which is already being used as an excel online business connector in power apps, Keeping the same connection?

[@sialmiroma]

Hi Reza, thanks for another great video. I have an unrelated question, what would you recommend as a best practice when creating flows in terms of flow ownership. I've created a lot of flows here where I work (to send emails, to populate Excel files, etc), but I'm finishing my internship in a few months and I don't know exactly how to prevent my flows from stopping working, I'm thinking of creating a functional account and recreating my flows using that new account. Do you think there is a simple way or do you have/know of any content on this? Thanks.

i LOVE seeing these videos, but when does the rest of the world get this functionality? Still no sign of Co-pilot outside of US based environments 😮
