Description

Tired of needing to “Save As…” a flow just to make a safe edit? Finding yourself rebuilding the same lookup logic across multiple flows? Or worried a critical automation will break while you’re out of office? This session is for the moment when Microsoft Power Automate stops feeling like quick wins and starts feeling like production software that needs structure, reuse, and a backup plan.

We’ll explore how building in Power Platform Solutions can help you level up: packaging work with solutions, reducing duplication with child flows, and improving portability with connection references, environments, and deployment pipelines. You’ll also get an honest look at the tradeoffs—dependency headaches, connection reference quirks, and the real-world complexity that comes with “doing it right.”

Presented by a database admin turned citizen developer who’s been testing these techniques in the wild, this session will help you decide if unlocking more features of the Power Platform is right for you!
