The Power Automate Designer team would love to hear feedback from the perspective of novice Power Automate users, citizen developers and low coders on their experience with Power Automate Designer. When designing flows, what do they struggle most with? If this sounds like something you’ve heard someone mention, please forward them this pre-screening survey to complete: https://aka.ms/MPA_DesignerFeedback
@kishbuy238 and team are interested in hosting a screen-sharing session to identify opportunities to improve the experience. This survey will be open through to August.
I would love this. Sometimes when I'm creating (and testing) I realize I need to move something to a different location in the flow.
I would like the ability added, when extracting details from a Teams message, to somehow easily extract the attachment and its data so it can be worked on. Especially if the attachment is not in a format Teams really likes.
Sorry to bring this up again, but it's super important for functionalities.
You've now blocked us from using other endpoints on the old Groups HTTP action, too.
So, calls like the below just aren't possible without setting up complex app permissions and paying for premium subscriptions to do so, which is not right when the ability to perform these existed mere months ago.

I can appreciate that someone decided that functionality should be split between the various Microsoft action connectors, but if you're not offering the full availability, then by restricting it you're really killing us, here.

Hi, @AnnaChu, I've thought of something that will really help make Flow Design easier:
Do Not Remove The Graph API Functionality From The Office 365 Groups Connector Action "Send an HTTP request"
You would basically be destroying HUGE swathes of usability of the system, forcing users into needlessly complex routines using Azure apps, which just need a simple HTTP call.
I've created an "Idea" to bring this to the fore, here:
https://ideas.powerautomate.com/d365community/idea/d51463df-6f0c-ed11-a81b-6045bd7c3e3f
If they're aware of this action's power, I'd call on my fellow Flow Ninjas, @Pstork1, @Expiscornovus, @tom_riha, @ScottShearer, @annajhaveri, @takolota, @ekarim2020, @Paulie78, @MarconettiMarco, @fchopo to join me in protesting the removal of such a tool.
(sorry for @'ing you all, folks)
If they aren't aware of it's usability, then I suggest they perform just any simple (non-groups 😉) Graph call in V1, and then try it in V2.
Here's some pictoral evidence of the change:
Send an HTTP request Send an HTTP request V2 Current docs page (no V2 listed)
That Idea again:

Do not do this to us, Anna, what's the point of an automation service that can't automate?
I don't know if this is the right place to submit a feature request. But can we add multiple condition support to the "IF" action? It's hard to build complex "If" checks with the current design. You can only add one condition at a time. This forces the user to write longer and more verbose flows unecessarily.
thanks!
I just learned about SWITCH. Not sure if it will work for what you're doing, or if you've already tried, but just wanted to pass it along just in case. You can have multiple paths based on conditions.
@slarson77 Thanks. SWITCH won't work. It checks the value of a single variable and provides you with multiple paths. It's not the same as doing an "IF condition1 AND/OR condition2 AND/OR condition3" all in the same action.
For example. I'm comparing two variables that I know are usually blank. I want to execute something only when they're truly equal and not blank.
So with the current design, I have to nest 3 IFs to check that var1 = var2 and that var1 isn't blank and var2 isn't blank. See my screenshot.
I don't really think it needs to be made easier, just more enhancements like those mentioned above. From where I sit teh most difficult thing is understanding the odata syntax. I have taught myself just as teach myself functions in excel. My observation with many people in my organization is they cannot even maximize productivity in excel. Those that can find flow awesome and easy
Until the PA team has a better solution this works: Tip #1437: Duplicate property names in JSON objects in Power Automate | Power Platform & Dynamics CR...
Is it possible to
Is it possible to GROUP multiple flows together, for example as a Project?
So in the below, those 5 flows would all be in one Project:
Hi @livingstonep ,
I am also looking at this at the moment and the small amount of research that I have done seems to point to 'Solutions' being what you are looking for.
I'm happy to be corrected though
You should create a solution. You can group all your flows, connections, bots, tables, etc in it.
The solutions can be accessed via the "Solutions" link on the left nav.
Take a look at the documentation on solutions. There are a some best practices to follow.
This is a good place to start.
I REALLY wish I could envelope all of my initialized variables into a Scope block in order to clean up my waterfall when i go to edit it and work with it...
Please:
I would like MS Devs to tally up all of the reasons and workflows that force PowerAutomate users to use the SharePoint HTTP action for workarounds, and then formulate these into official easy to create/setup/manage actions.
For example, users shouldn't have to craft a SharePoint HTTP action just to rename a Document Library folder or file. That action should come standard within existing actions - or at least, have its own dedicated action.
I thought it was just me with this issue. Glad it's not - completely agree!
A full non-3rd party CSV parser in a single action would be nice. But for now there is this CSV parsing template using only standard actions:
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Cookbook/CSV-to-Dataset/td-p/1508191
But the behaviour seems very inconsistent. Sometimes I copy items and paste them into a different part of the flow. Later I want the same time so I often try Windows+V to find the earlier item. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. I have no idea when items go to the system clipboard and when they don't. Using Windows 11.
