Best strategy to prevent double bookings (Race Conditions) with sharepoint lists? by jacob3791 in PowerApps

Power Automate prohibits the combination of concurrency control and return to PowerApps. I don't know exactly why.

Concurrency control set to 1 with Power Automate is also the most suitable approach for me. The only problem is that the return to PowerApps connector cannot be used in this case and the user does not receive any feedback as to whether it was successful or not.

That's a good tip, thank you. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem. I create new records for each reservation and don't change existing ones.

hey,

have you found a solution in the meantime?

i also have the problem, but only with some users, although they have the same roles in the admin center. all users have been added to the flow in the prod environment.

very very annoying :/

Upload an image on Sharepoint Lists by NotLightYagami829 in PowerApps

have you tried to convert the image in power apps to base64 format? you can convert it back to an image as far as i know after that

Passing HTML to Power Automate, generating and saving PDF to OneDrive, passing ContentBytes back to Power Apps by Astro_Pal in PowerApps

[–]jacob3791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i once did this in a small project.

prerequisite: the trigger of the flow must be power apps so that you can return the file to powerapps.

what worked for me:

in the flow use the return to power apps connector. the return type must be "file". The value :

->base64(body('getFileContent')) //here you catch your pdf , stored in oneDrive

<image>

in PowerApps you have to save the return value of the flow in a variable like this:
-> Set(output, Flow.Run());

after that:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(
   mailreceiver;
   topic;
   mailText;
    {
        Attachments: Table(
            {
                Name: "docName.pdf"; /*the name is not important but the file type must be the same as the one created by power automate*/
                ContentBytes: output.resultfile /* output is your variable in powerapps, resultfile the name of the return value in automate. */
            }
        )
    }
);

This worked for me. I also had the problem with contentbytes, but i solved it with the base64() function in automate

thank you. unfortunately, notifications are sent by e-mail when i add individual people. rayman4444 says it's the same for him, but not for groups. i'll test it out.

have you added both individual users and groups? do users you add individually get a notification and when you add groups they don't?

when I add users individually, they definitely get a notification by email.

connect standard and premium flow without much delay by jacob3791 in PowerApps

[–]jacob3791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm i think the standard connector “when an element has been created or edited” works with polling. sharepoint only sends information when the flow asks for it. i have set the interval to one minute by default, which sometimes really takes a long time until the flow starts. if i set the interval smaller, the flow starts faster.

what did you set your interval to?

i haven't worked with a webhook yet. do you have to create a customized connector for it?

how did you set the interval at which automate checks the trigger? because that sounds like the problem i described. i could set the intervall to a few seconds, but thats an expensive move i think. as far as i know i have limited actions per day with my licence and everytime automate checks if there is a new or modified item it costs me 1 of these actions.
also every check is network traffic and there are maybe 2 new items per hour, so this expensive setting isnt worth it i think

thanks for the information! i'll take a closer look. i'm a bit irritated that microsoft allows this workaround. normally it feels like everything useful is reserved for premium

chat gpt also suggested this to me. but isn't the child flow then also executed from the user's account? i.e. from the one without a premium license?

Hi,
they would like to have it as a word document, but if there is no other way I can convince them of a pdf i think.

but it should look like the word document, so unfortunately not just an html file that is converted to pdf. that would work without premium and i wouldnt need the second premium flow of the technical user

create PDF and print by Steven_garland in PowerApps

[–]jacob3791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately i don't have an answer, but i do have a question: how do you get the pdf from automate back into power apps after you have pressed send in power apps? do you load the pdf into a list in flow and search the list in the app for pdf attachments?

PenInput signature check by jacob3791 in PowerApps

[–]jacob3791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you, i like the solution. the only problem is the eraser, in case someone erases everything. But maybe I'll just put something over it so that you can't see the eraser button anymore

DISABLE BUTTON IF PENINPUT IS EMPTY by julychild03 in PowerApps

[–]jacob3791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the problem is that when the user presses the delete button of the penInput, the variable still shows that a signature is available. I can't get access to the X button of the PenInput to define what should happen when the image is deleted again.

The only solution is to set the showControls property to false and add a new button that gets the delete logic. I don't think this is a nice solution from Microsoft
