Power Catalog is a feature of Power Platform that allows makers and users to easily find and install apps, components and templates within their organization. It also enables administrators and approvers to curate and control the quality and security of the Power Platform artifacts. However, until recently, Power Catalog was only accessible through a command line interface, which limited its usability and adoption. In this session, you will learn about the new in-maker experiences for Power Catalog, which provide a graphical user interface for publishing and acquiring components from the catalog. You will also get an overview of the existing catalog functionality and the benefits of using it for different scenarios and audiences. Finally, you will see a live demonstration of some of the new features and capabilities that will be available soon for everyone.

In this engaging session, we delve into advanced coding techniques within Power Platform Custom Connectors, tailored for developers looking to broaden their skills beyond Dataverse plugins and JavaScript. We'll start by exploring how to augment existing services using custom code. This part of the session will focus on techniques to enhance and customize your services in the connectors, while leaving the underlying backend architecture unchanged. This approach will equip you with the skills to adapt the Power Platform to specific project requirements. Next, we turn our attention to the development of code-only connectors that operate independently of backend connectivity. We will provide practical examples, including converting CSV files to JSON, leveraging Regex, building custom parsers, and manipulating dates, to illustrate these concepts. Whether your goal is to create independent service simulations or enhance existing connectors, this session promises to arm you with the practical knowledge and skills necessary to innovate and elevate your Power Platform projects.

Hour 18 - Power Automate Mastery: Error Handling in Cloud Flows (1 Hours)
In this session, focused on Microsoft Power Automate cloud flows, we will explore the advanced error handling features of the tool and demonstrate how to use them to build robust and resilient solutions.
-
WHAT: In this session, focused on Microsoft Power Automate cloud flows, we will explore the advanced error handling features of the tool and demonstrate how to use them to build robust and resilient solutions. You will also get guidance on how to efficiently review and monitor your flows, as well as get detailed error reports when things don't go the way they should. WHY: As adoption of the Power Platform grows, so does the need to make sure that the solutions built with it are stable and reliable. While Power Automate offers a spectrum of features for error handling, it does not actually have any kind of a generally accepted framework for doing it. It is also very frequently used by citizen developers and non-IT makers who are not necessarily familiar with the concept of handling errors. As such, many developers remain unfamiliar with how to effectively build robust flows (or even that they should do it at all). This session addresses this need, equipping you with essential techniques to enhance the robustness of your cloud flows. HOW: In this hands-on session we'll demonstrate how to: - Use and implement advanced error handling features of Power Automate Cloud Flows. - Implement best practices for handling errors and generating proper (and actually useful) error notifications to users. - Log relevant information for monitoring and analysis. - Build a standardized flow structure that can be reused for each flow. TAKEAWAYS: After this session, you will have gained valuable insights into advanced error-handling features specific to Power Automate Cloud Flows. You will be able to build resilient cloud flows with proper logging, error notifications, as well as create a framework that can be re-used for future cloud-based solutions. You will also become familiar with the best practices of making your Power Automate Cloud Flows reliable and efficient. This condensed session is your express ticket to fortifying your cloud flows with enhanced error-handling prowess. Un

Maximizing App Potential: Integrating Azure Insights and Process Mining for Enhanced User Experience
In the dynamic landscape of application development, it's not just about making apps better for users. It's also key to spot and fix performance problems early. If not, these issues might slip through, leading to unhappy users, poor app performance, and even users giving up on the app. Catching these problems early is vital to keep your app competitive and in good shape. Our session offers a smart solution: combining Microsoft Azure Application Insights with your apps and using Process Mining for deeper analysis. Azure Application Insights gives detailed statistics on how people use your apps and how well they perform. By linking this service with your apps, you get a clear picture of both usage and performance. We go a step further in this session by bringing in Process Mining. This tool takes all that data and turns it into useful insights. It shows you exactly how users interact with your app and where it can be improved. We'll also look at the role of Copilot in Process Mining. Copilot is like a smart helper, making it easier to find and fix any issues. It speeds up analyzing data and makes it simpler, which is great for both developers and those making decisions. Join us in this session to learn how to connect your apps with Azure Application Insights and use Process Mining and Copilot for thorough analysis.
