Using Power Automate with Dataverse

In this course David Yack shares his experience building real world automations using Power Automate and Microsoft Dataverse (formerly the Common Data Service). You will quickly get up to speed on how to efficiently trigger flows based on Dataverse business data modifications, on a schedule, or on demand. The real magic starts to happen as you query and navigate data relationships. Using flow execution controls and expressions you will implement business logic like an expert.
