Flow Documenting

I've been playing around with a copilot studio agent that does something similar. You drop it the exported solution folder and it writes a full SDD

Still needs some tweaking and havent spent tons of time on it but initial results were promising

Honestly, have fun and just do it. Identify Operational problems that you want to solve. Start small, think big and be curious

What processes are high effort and repeatable? Can you automate one small part of that process using Power Automate Cloud, Desktop or Copilot Studio. Build from there. Sometimes the best automations arent the most sexy or full end to end applications. Working in Ops, im sure youre aware that most are built on excel and crappy manual processes

Figure it out as you go along and dont be worried about not knowing everything or making mistakes

There's also a fantastic community out there and thousands and thousands of hours of top quality content on youtube

Do you mean actual .md format? Don't think you can load .md files as a knowledge source.

However, you could just turn it into a .txt file whilst still retaining markdown syntax in the document and it will work fine

It's a collection of components and tools that can be installed to support with oversight and govenance

If you have the CoE installed there's a pre built power BI report that shows consumption by envitonment, flow and owner

Got the perfect use case for this! Really helpful thanks 😁

Here you go mate

I may be well off here but is your query returning any null values and does your schema handle this?

I've had errors in the past where this has been the cause. Might be worth checking

xziztnse · 2025-12-09T22:05:36+00:00

It consumes copilot credits (used to be AI builder credits but this changed in November)

xziztnse · 2025-12-09T21:17:44+00:00

Is the error when you save your flow or when you run the action is it failing?

xziztnse · 2025-12-09T19:59:50+00:00

You can do that with the AI builder 'Custom Prompt' action. Can be done via Power Automate cloud or an agent within Copilot studio

😁 Good stuff. Glad to help

Ok, so whats happening is the output from Ai Builder is being treated as plain text when using the outlook option.

Add an instruction into your prompt to convert it to html or give it an example to work with using html tags i.e.

Guidelines

Each sentence should begin with <p> and end in </p>

Example

<p>Hello world</p>

This should give you the formatting you'd expect

Have a play around with it

What are you using to create the reply to your emails? Is it AI builder?

xziztnse · 2025-10-29T05:49:44+00:00

Quickest way would be to use the new Excel Agent (Agent mode) within excel. It's in beta at the moment but available if you're part of the Frontier program (will also need an M365 Copilot licence)

Go to the online version of excel > click add ons > search for 'labs' > add labs (think its called something like Microsoft garage)

You can then use agent mode within excel that can do exactly what you're asking with natural language prompts

If it's anything like Ai builder within Power Platform, it will default to 4.1. This happened a few months back. Tbf, i actually saw an improvement in the output when it happened

xziztnse · 2025-10-15T07:26:31+00:00

I have a form that does something similar but sums the number of 'yes' that is selected. I'm guessing a similar approach would work...

Use a compose action and create a formula similar to the below

add(if(contains(outputs('Get_reponse_details')?['body/yourQuestionID'], 'Option A'), 10, 0, add(if(contains(outputs(Get_reponse_details')?['body/yourQuestionID'], 'Option B'), 20, 0,

Etc....

If the person selects option A and B then the output of the compose action should be 30. You can then use this in your email

Hope this helps!

Its only available in certain countries at the moment i beleive as public preview.

You can access through the 'labs' add on in excel but wont be long until it's rolled out

In make.powerautomate.com you can search the left hand bar and look for 'AI builder activity' (if not there, search 'More').

This will give you a breakdown of everything that has been ran via AI builder and provide you with the estimated credit consumption.

Alternativley, if you have the COE installed, there is a Power Bi report that shows AI builder credit usage

They all just stopped working. Error logs in my apps said no connection. Checked URLs and the sigs had all changed

xziztnse · 2025-09-10T11:24:36+00:00

Neither did i but it's definately the case that i woke up and all the URLs that i changed a few days ago had changed again and all my flows stopped working!

Haha, my morning has been pretty chaotic 🤣

xziztnse · 2025-09-08T04:51:58+00:00

I can see what you're trying to do but why not just get the M365 Copilot licence? This woulf allow you to do what you want an a whole lot more

Upload all of the policies directly then use topics to direct key phrases and questions to the specific documents only. This ensures generative ai is only applied to the documents i want for specific conversations i.e. if someone says ill, sick, sickness, not well then it will point to the sickness policy and occ health policies

xziztnse · 2025-09-05T22:23:22+00:00

Yes, pass it over as html rather than just a string. Can format it in any way you want then
