Power-Platform

My Issues with Low Code

Specifically the Microsoft™ Power Platform™

Power automate is a useful tool. It lets you connect almost anything in the Microsoft ecosystem (and even outside the Microsoft ecosystem if you pay for premium). Unfortunately it is not a good tool.

If Janice from Accounting wants to have an email appear when there’s a new SharePoint item with their name on it, sure. That’s possible. And fairly simple. Power Automate is quite good at this. Easy enough UI, no need to “deploy” or “host” the automation anywhere. It’s great.
