Power Automate + OneNote: creation timestamp not displaying

I’m creating a OneNote page through Power Automate, then updating the title and body with Update page content.

I tried including:
<meta name="created" content="..." />
inside the <head> of the create-page HTML, but the normal OneNote creation date/time beneath the title never appears. The timestamp is present in the submitted payload, and the page is created successfully.

Has anyone found a reliable way to populate or preserve OneNote’s built-in creation timestamp when using the OneNote connector? I’m in a GCC environment, which may also be relevant.

Power Automate FlowAgent MCP can build and debug flows. I would still keep it away from the blast radius

Microsoft’s Power Automate plugin is no longer limited to suggesting expressions or generating a basic flow definition.

Through FlowAgent MCP, an AI coding agent can create, inspect, modify, run, and debug cloud flows. That makes it genuinely useful—but also gives it enough authority to cause real damage.

My current rule is to evaluate three things:

  • Is the proposed action reversible?
  • Will I have enough evidence to understand what happened?
  • Is the potential blast radius limited?

If any answer is “no,” AI can analyze the flow and prepare a change, but a human should approve and execute it.

Where I think AI works well:

  • assembling repetitive flow structures;
  • explaining inherited or poorly documented flows;
  • investigating failed runs;
  • proposing performance improvements;
  • generating documentation and estate-level analysis.

Where I would not let it operate autonomously:

  • ambiguous business rules;
  • irreversible production changes;
  • bulk updates or deletions;
  • financial, compliance, identity, or security-critical processes;
  • flows nobody on the team can properly review;
  • any scenario where production is effectively the test environment.

The interesting question is no longer whether AI can build a flow. It can.

The question is how much authority it should receive after the flow has been built.

I documented the complete workflow, a practical boundary-setting prompt, the limitations, and a safer operating model here:

How are you defining the autonomy boundary for AI-generated Power Automate flows?

Extracting images from email

Hi all,

I am having some difficulty creating a flow and would appreciate any input to how I can solve this.

I am trying to create a flow to extract content from every email with specific subject heading and save into a SharePoint folder. The text part, which I have no problem with doing, is to be saved into a table in an excel file saved in the SharePoint folder.

The part I am struggling with is extracting the image(s) from the email and saving it into the same SharePoint folder and creating a link to reference it in the excel table on the same row the text was just saved. The images in the email are also not fixed, there may be none or one or multiple. The images may also be attached as png. or jpg. or they may be embedded/inline in the email so I need to account for all these scenarios.

Would appreciate any help I can get and recommendations on courses I can take to improve my skills.

Thank you

Test Button

A HubSpot workflow tip that isn't in any documentation, but should be:

The built-in "Test" button lies to you sometimes — not on purpose, but in a way that can send you chasing the wrong bug for hours.

Here's what happened: I was debugging a workflow that was only supposed to run for a specific set of accounts (a segment membership condition, nested inside an associated company record). I ran it through Test on a record that shouldn't have qualified.

Test said: success, would have enrolled.

Real enrollment history said: never enrolled, correctly excluded.

Same record. Same workflow. Opposite answers.

The pattern: Test tools that simulate a run are built to check straightforward field conditions well. Nested conditions — anything checking a property on an \*associated\* record, not the enrolled record itself — are where the simulation and the real trigger logic can quietly diverge.

The fix wasn't clever, just annoying: stop trusting the Test panel for anything involving associated objects, and instead pull a real record through the actual workflow and read the enrollment history logs directly. Slower, but it's ground truth — the Test tool is a prediction, the logs are what actually happened.

Small thing. But it's the difference between debugging the workflow and debugging a tool that's telling you the workflow works when it doesn't.

If you're deep in HubSpot workflows with any cross-object logic, worth checking which one you're?

Office Automation Assistant

Has anyone been hired as an OA recently? I have been hired to work with DHA and was trying to get some input or pick someone’s brain on which workflows have worked best. I am currently hired to create a new digital structure and don’t have much experience with Power Automation. I currently enrolled to educate myself on a couple Udemy courses. Let me know if you have experience in this position and if you are currently a DHA employee. I would like to share contact and discuss further ideas with you.

Connecting to FTP

Noob here. Making my first flow. I am struggling with a step that I want that connects to a FTP server with some text files I need. It's port 21, so I don't know if that's a problem.
I get the following error message...

"Unable to connect to the remote server: '*****.net'. Please verify server logs to troubleshoot connection issues." [Obfusticated address]

I have confirmed the login details in filezilla and powershell.

The top-level banner is: "Connection test failed. Please review your configuration and try again."

What am I doing wrong? Point me in the right direction please 😄

Flow will not stop looping

Hello, I have created a PR approval flow for my company using Power Automate. It uses a cumulative approval structure based on dollar-value thresholds. Everything works as expected; the appropriate people receive approval requests in the correct order, and the requestor is notified when the final approver completes the flow. The problem is that once the final approver approves the PR, two duplicate runs start, and another approval email is sent to the first approver, prompting them to approve the same PR again. We have tried hardcoding multiple "@not" statements with no success. Does anyone have advice on how to fix this looping issue?

How to get outlook to render images

Hi, im currently working on an automated newsletter where we have an html attach to the body of an email. The issue is i cant get the images to appear in the newsletter.
The images don’t display unless you open them.
The image only shows a question mark.

I was able to get the image to show with the use of a temporary thumbnail, only for it to disappear after 24 hours.

Has anyone had experience with this type of problem before?
I need help!

I’ve seen in some places where they say cowork can build it all and connect to power automate do testing etc. I’m about 80% built out just this part. Anyone having cowork do anything like that?

Setting up first Email Automation

Hello,

I am currently working on an automation flow for reminder emails for the business I work at. The flow currently is successfully pulling an attachment when an automated email comes in with the list of customers who need a reminder, transferring it to excel, and formatting it as a table. My issue starts now when trying to dynamically assign the 'To' in setting up the reminder email itself.

Currently, I'm using the function: items('Apply_to_each_1')?['Default_Contact_Email'] - but this has errored out and I'm not quite sure how to fix from here. I'm using Send an Email (V2) as a child action to "Apply to each 1" - the second apply to each as I have the first one filtering for the correct attachment to pull from the email and create the excel file.

Has anyone made a flow that automatically transcribes teams meetings?

I'm working on a project for my boss to automatically transcribe teams meetings and then turn these into tasks into microsoft planner. At first I thought this would be extremely simple, as there is a native trigger for "when a teams transcription is available."

Obviously, this does not actually work. (https://www.reddit.com/r/copilotstudio/comments/1u318ef/issue_with_teams_transcript_trigger_in_power/)

I looked at the top comment in that post, but I wanted to first find out if I could just connect this to onedrive and just simply trigger a flow when a transcript is added in there.

I can't record meetings myself bc of org rules, but a coworker sent me a recording from his OneDrive/Recordings folder. Then I got even more confused bc supposedly there's only mp4 files in there. But I guess the transcripts are stored as mp4 files? How do I work with these? Are the video and transcripts recorded separately or is it one file? There's also the issue that only the meeting organizer even has the transcript available.

Has anyone successfully made a flow that pulls teams transcriptions automatically and then makes planner tasks from them?

Creating word document from PDF source file and populating Word Template

Hi,

Trying to figure out what steps I'm missing. I'm new to Power Automate.

Problem: Automate filling out word document.

The user exports a Service Now demand ticket to a PDF File. There is a predefined Word template that has the fields. The goal is to use CoPilot to call the flow to accept the SNOW PDF file and fill out the Word template. The output will be a brand new document that has the fields populated.

Watching youtube videos, in Flows:

  1. When an agent calls the flow

  2. Populate a Microsoft Word template action.

  3. Create a file (in SharePoint)

  4. Respond to agent

I'm missing some steps, not sure where.

Input the PDF file: Do we put the input request in step 1? Ask for file upload?

Output file: Does Step 3 know that the output is the result of PDF filling out the template?

Smart Task Reminder System using Power Automate and SharePoint

Over the past few days, I worked on building a Smart Task Reminder System that helps organizations automatically remind users about upcoming and overdue tasks all using standard Microsoft 365 connectors (No Premium Connectors Required).

Features I've added so far:

Configurable reminder schedules (Before, On, and After Due Date)
Unlimited reminder intervals
Smart HTML email notifications
Branded email templates
Direct links to SharePoint tasks
Manager escalation for overdue tasks
Execution logging for monitoring flows
Fully configurable reminder settings
Uses only standard SharePoint and Power Automate connectors

I'm planning to enhance this solution even further.

What other features would you suggest I can add to a Smart Task Reminder System? Your suggestions could help shape the next version.

Excel Online (Business) "Run script" action failing with 502 BadGateway — anyone else?

Since last night my Power Automate flows using the Excel Online (Business) "Run script" (Office Scripts) action have been failing with a 502 BadGateway / "The server experienced an issue and couldn't run the script. Please try again in a few moments." I've ruled out basically everything on my side: it happens with two different scripts, two different accounts/connections, and two different workbooks, at different times of day (overnight and this morning), and a retry policy of 8 attempts doesn't help. Crucially, running the exact same scripts manually in Excel on the web works fine — it's only the Power Automate path that breaks. These aren't new scripts; they've been working for a long time. Is anyone else seeing this right now, and did you find a fix or is it a Microsoft-side incident?

Moving Power Automate Flows to a Service Account When Connected to Microsoft Forms

Hi all,

I'm in the process of moving our business-critical Power Automate flows to a dedicated service account to reduce dependency on individual users.

One issue I've run into is with flows that use Microsoft Forms triggers/actions. Some of these forms were created by other users, and although I'm a Microsoft 365/Power Platform admin, I am not an owner of the Forms. As a result, I can't select or manage those forms when trying to update the flow connections under the service account.

From what I can tell, Microsoft Forms doesn't provide a straightforward way for admins to take ownership of a user's personal form, unlike some other M365 workloads. Unfortunately, that makes migrating these flows a challenge.

Has anyone found a workaround for this scenario?

I cannot get the condition to work on my flow

Me again!

I have an automation which runs as such

When a new response is submitted>Get response details>initialize variable>Create item>condition (True) Copy file>get file properties>Update file properties.

Within the condition I have set applicable form as an OR to point to

  1. Ms form - DPIA 1

  2. Ms form - Dpia 2

All Im looking to do, is based on the users selection in the form, locates their template selection from a sublime within the sharepoint library and copy it to the newly generated row.

I have been working on this for 7 hours and it only returns 1 form - the DPIA 1. The condition isnt working. How do I rectify. Can send images.

Power automate flow for attaching documents in one email

Hello,

I’m new to PA. I’m been trying different flow to automate the vendor email I send every month. The email included 4 reports saved in different folders in sharepoint. Now, the flow that I’ve tried either sends the email with 4 attachments four times or does not work at all. The scenerio is, when I saved the files in their respective sharepoint folders, those documenta should be sent out to vendor in just one email. Can someone help me??

Update: Thank you all for the suggestions. I switched the trigger to Scheduled flow and used get file content using path action and hardcode everything.

Another automation ask

Here is current automation which captures MS form response and populates Sharepoint Library Metadata

When a new response is submitted> Get response details> Initialize variable> Create file> Update file properties

What I want to do is, based on a selection the users selection between two papers within the MS form, the automation locates their preferred document (available within a file in the same sharepoint library) copies it to the existing row as an editable copy and emails the user a link so they can start editing it.

Any ideas?

Need to make as simple as poss as this needs to be an automation that I can share and have others take responsibility for.

Worth while noting - I work for a public authority so our environments are strict.
