Currently, we cannot sort nor organize flows in any way I could find. It makes flows very difficult to manage. Thank you. The idea of having a way of organizing flows has already been submitted and closed as "completed" (read link:  https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/Provide-a-method-of-organising-Flows/idc-p/281582#M14338). Unfortunately, the solution provided does not seem to answer the community needs, therefore I am reopening it again.

It would be very powerfull to have a trigger that starts conditionally.   For example: I don't want a Flow to always trigger when an item is modified. Only when a specific condition is met, like Status = Completed     I can now do that by using the When an existing item is modified trigger and setting a condition after the trigger, but it would be nicer that you can configure your condition within the trigger. ...

Hi, There is no trigger in flow when Sharepoint item is modified with specific field(s), instead of this we use when item is created or Modified with add condition after triggering the flow. Major draw back for using above mention trigger is to always trigger our flow when item is modified which may results out flow runs as they are limited. Please look into this issue ASAP. we need it badly.   Thanks, Harry_G ... View more

I would find it a HUGE improvement to be able to have a existing action, for example Send Email that has a connection and some info already filled in or not (both would be an improvement) and that you can either have an option "copy/duplicate" this action or that you could copy paste (ctrl + c => ctrl + v) to do so.   Having a switch action for example where in each case a mail should be send, you have to manually create the action each time. There are more cases where this would be a great improvement.   VOTE if you think so as well!   THERE ALREADY IS AN IDEA (that I didn't saw) so vote for it as well by clicking on this link! ...

Issue When using the Create a new record action (CDS current environment) connector, the Description field is a string field for the Email Message entity. A Power Automate maker cannot apply rich text to the email message through the Description field.  In Dynamics 365 classic workflows this is standard functionality as a Rich Text Editor is provided when using the following steps Send mail step Create step when Email is the entity selected Refer to below screenshot. Action For parity of Dynamics 365 classic workflows the Description field needs to have Rich Text Editor functionality when the entity equals Email Messages for the CDS Create a new record action and CDS Update a record action. Or a new CDS action is made available that is dedicated to authoring email messages as HTML, similar to the Outlook Send an email (V2) action. Regardless of the action taken, it would need to be applied to the standard connector and current environment connector for CDS. ... View more

We need an option to change the sender address of the Flow approval emails. These are currently always sent from "maccount@heraeus.com" and this cannot be changed.    "Email with options" is not an option as we need the functionality of tasks, reassign, etc. Approvals without sending the standard email is no workaround as we lose the functionality of easy approvals via email with buttons on the smartphone.   A field to define the sender adress is required for the approvals like it is in the step "send mail from a shared mailbox". ...

Can you bring back the send as function to the send and email action please? We're trying to sell unified groups to the business as the only grou they need, but they can't send emails from flow as the group email address. This is really annoying as it used to be available in V1  ... View more

It would be helpful if there was an option to Enable/Disable an action. Testing with disabling a few steps would be easy compared to removing the whole action and adding again if needed. ... View more

In Microsoft Forms, Planner and Power BI I can create things associated with an Office 365 group rather than an individual.   I do not believe this is currently possible in Flow, I know owners can be set, but the flow still sits under an individual rather than a whole Group. ... View more

Hello I can't seem to find this idea out there but I would love to have a flow that would use information from a Form to create a news post on the Modern SharePoint site.   I have a use case where I want to feature the new hires in our company where they have answered some fun questions in a form and I want to use that information to create the news post.   Thanks   ...

When you develop large flows with many actions it is difficult to collect failures from each action that could potentially fail.    It is possible to collect the details from each potentially failing action howeever that will very quickly create an unwanted mess.   It would really help if there was a error() function giving an array of all failures of that flow run, so that this function can be used to report the failure back to the user. At the moment the only thing we've got is the workflow() function that can be used to generate the flow run url. The end user however should not need to look at the complex flow run.   Also the user may not have access to the flow run. ... View more

I'd love the ability to utilize HTML or a rich text editor when composing the message to be posted by the Flow bot towards a user -- it seems to work fine for when having the Flow bot post to channels.   Use case: I leverage a Communications SharePoint site at the sub-division level and using MS Flow when new pages are published (and depending on input categories chosen when requesting publishing) to drive Flow messages to specific editors and the submitter as it relates to them -- would be fantastic to have the extra layer of ease by having hyperlinked text and formatting to really standardize the messages and drive them to read the most important parts of the message to navigate to the news post faster   ...

There are many scenarios where it would be helpful to cancel an approval via a Flow action.  For example, in a parallel approval scenario where you want a specified number or %  of approvers to approve, it would be great to be able to cancel the outstanding approvals.   While I understand that an approver can cancel an approval in some circumstances, I would like the ability to cancel an approval from within a Flow.   Scott ...

Need an out of the box way to see which approver has not yet approved. This is very problematic when creating a flow with multiple approvers. Use Case: we have assigned 5 approvers. Job has been pending for 1 week. Which of the 5 has taken approval actions?    Suggest adding this data to the approval sent card in Flow (on hover or as ellipsis menu option).  To my knowledge this has not been completed. The solution detailed here, i have not seen work nor does it seem to be a feasible work around: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/Approval-Process-multiple-approvals-required/idi-p/61291   Please Help upvote this!   ...
