POWER AUTOMATE & MICROSOFT DATAVERSE - 1 PRE-REQUISITES Login to Power Automate Create a manually triggered flow In this post, I will be using the data that is available in the Accounts table. In Cloud flow, we can use the dataverse connector and perform multiple actions as required. LIST ROWS IN DATAVERSE Use List rows action to list rows/records from a selected table. Use Apply To Each control to go through each row in the table. Data in the Dataverse table Accounts is shown.
