2020 New Community Badges Roll-outs
New "Solution Posted", "Kudos Received", "Kudos Given", "Replies Posted", and "Topics Posted" badges are being released this month on the Power Automate and Power Apps Communities! By increasing each of the highest awarded badges by A LOT and adding many in between, we are recognizing that as the community grows and our users become more and more engaged, answering questions, and providing solutions is vital to the communities success. To learn how to see all the badges you've earned, and how to see badges that other community users have earned, visit our support article "All About Community Badges".

!NEW! Community Support Area
We have recently launched the Power Automate Community Support area to help our community members (seasoned & new) easily find information about joining and using this community, and getting support for community-related issues. We have support articles broken out to help find what you need quickly:
Community Accounts & Registration - Here you will find support articles to help you get registered for the community, or if you are having trouble with your community account. You can also visit this knowledge base to find out how to manage your community profile.
Using the Community - The support articles stored in this knowledge base cover interacting in the community. Replies, Kudos, Solutions, Badges, Ranks, @Mentions, etc.
Community Feedback - This discussion board replaces the previous "Help With The Forum" board as the place to go if you aren't able to find the support you are looking for in one of the above knowledge bases mentioned above. Making a post on this board will get you in touch with the Power Automate Community Management team.

Content @Mentions
Users are able to reference (@) and link other messages in the Community within a message body. The mention appears as a hyperlink once the message is posted. In the Power Automate community, user mentions appear at the top of the search pop-up, followed by matching content.

Power Platform Online Conference
The first ever Power Platform Online Conference is coming on March 20, 2020! Please head over to http://aka.ms/PowerPlatformConference to get registered if you haven't already! There will be 18 sessions put together, back-to-back for a 9-hour day packed full of FREE Power Platform session and demo goodness delivered by some of the greatest speakers from THIS awesome world-wide community!

Expect to see content related to Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and the new Power Virtual Agents! If you're a user of any of those products, you'll surely find a session you love at the Power Platform Online Conference! The sessions will all be pre-recorded and put together seamlessly for your viewing pleasure and the speakers will be asked to "attend" during their sessions to answer questions that you might have right there in the "Live Chat" box!

The content will all be available for on-demand viewing after the event is over, but you can't miss being a part of this real-time broadcast at 9AM EST, Friday, March 20, 2020! So, make some popcorn and grab a seat on your couch at home, or grab a few co-workers and huddle in front of a conference room monitor to be a part of this awesome first time event! 🥳
I hope to see you there!
