I've started to notice a pattern, and it goes like this:
Someone finds Power Automate or Power Apps
They build something amazing
They want to use...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Yeah have seen lot of apps built with power apps and it would have been lot cheaper to deploy based on number of users/per month if they had just made it in Microsoft Forms or made it using some basic internal CRUD app.
Keep it simple !!
All valid! It depends on the complexity, and sometimes you need to keep the user within a unique application (like Power Apps). Again, my vote is for simplicity, but, again, it depends
Good call out, there are definitely times for apps (like plans for future features too)
Lol.. and sometimes this brings another discussion; people think Power Apps could be a CRM -well, I've already seen it, but it's caothic 😨
It's technically built on a CRM tool (dynamics), but I can imagine the chaos you have seen, why would you reinvent the wheel
Very well said and with good examples. I seen people using unnecessary flow and Apps where even it's not needed. Just want to quote and example, in order to drop an email from your PowerApp, you no need to create a separate flow and then send and email, you can directly use Outlook Connector in PowerApp to do so
Great call out, I mentioned it in a previous blog too. App connections should be the default, not flow like I often see too.
