Demo summaries

  • Building a Name Pronunciation Database with Power Apps and Power Automate – embrace global diversity with this solution. A Power App with a Power Automate flow sitting on a SharePoint page and a document library. See the app in action – recording name and pronouns, listing to the recording, then going behind UI to see the Power App elements used. Step through capturing and transferring 3 variables from Power App into flow actions. Sample available.
  • Mention a bot from a Power Automate flow – see how to mention a bot in a flow from Teams. Use these building blocks – Power Virtual Agent, Microsoft List, Microsoft Team and channel, and a Power Automate cloud flow that triggers on a key word (#FAQ) and posts a message with a bot mention. @mention bot from Teams Channel. Flow monitors the channel. The Power Virtual Agent is published to Teams as an app.
  • Effortlessly showing grids of data in your Power Apps using the Creator Kit – that’s basically, a Fluent UI style set of controls. In this demo, see specifically how to show data in tabular format using a control and template from the kit. An alternative to galleries - the DetailsList control is a responsive, Fluent styled control optimized for grids of data. Create table, add columns, import data, display, sort, tab, resize, etc.
