Welcome to "Professional Power Automate"!

 Hi everyone and welcome to the "Professional Power Automate" blog. When I was learning Power Automate, I often ran into the issue that there are hardly and blogs on more advanced topics, like "what are best practices to create robust flows" or "what should I consider when deciding a complex system of child flows?". Writing blog posts is also a great way for me to collect my findings and bring them into a more concise form. In that regard, writing is also part of my own learning journey. I also would love this to be a community effort in the sense that we all have different approaches and practices. So, your comment is always welcome. However, all comments are moderated to avoid spam and off-topic discussions. Please be patient, if it takes a couple of days for your comment to pass moderation :).

What this blog is for

• Designing complex flow systems
• Best practices
• Advanced discussions
• Hardening flows
• Premium license aspects and workarounds
• Creating more efficient and fast flows
• Helper tools that make designing and developing flows easier
• Dataverse tips
• Speeding up your workflow

What this blog is NOT about

• off-topic discussions, i.e. anything outside of the Power Automate and Dataverse
• not primarily a support blog!
• Eventhough the name may suggest it: Power Automate for Desktop is considered off-topic (at least for now)

About me

My name is John Flury and I've been working in IT here in Zurich, Switzerland for the last 17 years, after studying computer science at the University of Zurich. My programming background is in Java and C/C++, but I was never a full-time developer. As an IT manager, my focus have been mainly business processes. As such, it's no surprise that Power Automate caught my attention. Since about 2 years I teach Power Automate beginner classes and also work as freelance Power Platform consultant and developer. In my freetime I enjoy being a "Maker", creating interactive installations for kids and build things in and around our house, using Arduino, 3D-Printing, wood and metal.
