I think it would be very helpful to have a blog post that documents how to use OData filers with SharePoint Get Items and Get Files actions. I see OData questions asked quite frequently.

Would you like to use your iphone's Siri voice assitant to trigger Flows? Do you have any good use cases for it? If there is enought interest for this, I will write a blog post about it.

There is amazing content for some other applications around how internal Microsoft employees are using those apps to make their worklife easier (esp. SharePoint, Teams etc.) It would be great to see some highlights of the use cases and a walkthrough of the how/why for how some MS employees (maybe outside of the Flow team) are using Flow to make their work life simpler?

Hey Flow Fans! I'd love to see a Flow Community blog article about using the location-based trigger to track daily working hours. Even though this feature is just now in preview, I think a tutorial article about this would be an excellent example of how to use the new location-based trigger for Flow! I am sure there are a lot of people using this already and I'm excited to see how this new awesome feature will be utilized! Thanks in advance!

Hi All. I think it would be nice to see some Flows that make use of the Microsoft Planner API, details here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/planner-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0 Things like creating and updating Checkboxes aren't available OOTB so maybe some content on this would help those who may want to create and update Planner tasks when an email arrives, a calendar event is booked in etc. Example on API PATCH here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/plannertaskdetails-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=javascript#example Thanks, Alan

I'd love to see more in depth tutorials around getting people started understanding HTTP and JSON triggers with Flow, some real world basic use cases to help people get started understanding the basics.

I recently worked with a company that wanted to implement an Approval workflow using Teams notifiations only, they didn't want any emails at all. Initially I found in a Forum that this was not possible, but the "Create an approval" card has a Teams adaptive card that can be leveraged. I wrote about this quick workaround in my blog. Hope this can be useful for somebody else that may have the same requirement. https://powergi.net/2021/07/11/use-power-automate-approvals-with-teams-notifications-only-no-emails/
