Calling Power Automate flows from the Business Process Flow of a Model-Driven Power App or Dynamics 365 is nothing new but did you know you can also ask for inputs with a very well hidden a drop down list/option set/choice control
Track and Process Digital Applications with Customer Voice & Power Automate
Every customer application is unique, the additional evidence & supporting documents they need to provide depends on how they answer the questions. We can use Power Automate to send specific and personalised directions on what they need to do next after submitting an application.
Linking a customer voice response back to its originating invitation and related enquiry so that we can track all activities in one place. Ensuring any user can clearly see what is/was required and help move the application process along.
Sending Digital Applications with Customer Voice & Power Automate
This post will focus on sending a personalised, uniquely identifiable application form to a potential customer with dynamically generated email content from the simple click of a button of a business process flow. Customer Voice and Power Automate are a serious work force when combined!
Handling ‘Run Flow’ failures from a business process flow
Current limitations mean you cannot use business rules on the ‘Run Flow’ button on the business process flow, so its entirely possible for a user to run the flow when the scenario is going to cause silent failure in the background. Lets look at how to mark a business process flow step as failed, so you can handle flow run failures - gracefully and informatively, in a user friendly manner!
Make the Activity Timeline Control Useful in Model-Driven Power Apps
The Activity Timeline you see in Model-driven Power Apps & Dynamics 365 is actually a huge awesome PCF control called ‘Timeline Control’. It has a massive range of configurable options available now from the new solution explorer. These are my top four highlights - Customising activity cards, Hiding the blobby things (aka ‘Persona with Initials’), cleaning up the timeline to speed up the load time and allowing/preventing creation from the timeline.
Custom Data Restrictions in Customer Voice
Did you know it is possible to add restrictions to what type of text you respond with in a Customer Voice survey? You can restrict their answers to be a number, an email address, or a special string in a predefined format (based on a specific ‘regular expression’ AKA RegEx) such as a passport number. Along with a customised error message to explain what the correct format is.
Fun Fact: RegEx has been around since 1951!
Digitising paper-based application forms with Customer Voice - it’s not just a survey tool!
You read that right - I used customer voice for an application process. Well ok not just customer voice, my good friend Power Automate got pretty involved too. There are so many new features in Customer voice which make it so much more than just a survey tool!
