Community Corner 07: Templates/Microsoft Inspire/Spotlight(Community Threads)

Templates & Connectors

You're in for a sneak peek because I'll be unveiling and explain a bit about the template that will be featured on the coming #TemplateTuesday. This is a great template for several reasons and I am glad that it was recommended to me by a Microsoft Flow PM! 

This just happens to be one of my favorite Flow Templates because it is an excellent way to stay updated with content from the Flow Team and other experienced flow users! There is a new Flow of the Week article published every week! This flow template will use the RSS connector to connect to your Flow Mobile app and send you a notification every time something is published on the Microsoft Flow Blog!

There have also been some great new connector releases such as a Survey123 trigger that starts a flow when a survey response is submitted, and an Azure IoT Central Connector that can trigger flows when a rule has fired and take action by creating new devices, updating existing devices, and deleting devices. Here's the line up of recently added connectors:

Microsoft Inspire Las Vegas, June 16-19

I am very excited to announce that I am honored with the opportunity to attend the annual Microsoft Inspire Conference in Las Vegas, June 16-19! I am very fortunate to be traveling to this event for Microsoft and I would just like to take this opportunity to ask ANY Microsoft Flow Community Members that are reading this and planning on attending the Microsoft Inspire conference to reach out and contact me if you'd like to meet up at the conference and see your online Community Admin face-to-face or just to discuss anything Flow Community related! 

I'll be recruiting as many new Flow Community Members as I can and I'll be spreading awareness of all of the great things that go down here on the Community! So expect some new faces on the Community once the conference has started and stay tuned for some updates in the Flow Community webinars&video gallery! I plan to put together a special video of bits and pieces of my favorite community related sessions that I attend at the conference!

Spotlight(Community Threads)

There are always some great Community Threads to get involve with that would pertain to the Microsoft Flow work that you are doing. Just head up to the search bar at the top of the page and search for whatever you would like to see threads about. You can also refine your search a bit and get pretty specific results from within the community. 

I will show you a couple of my favorite threads that I think most Microsoft Flow users could find interesting!

This is an idea thread that is requesting triggers fro Microsoft Teams. I use Teams for some of my important processes so I'd like to see if some Teams triggers could help me automate any parts of those processes! 

This is a News & Announcements thread that is serving as the Microsoft Business Applications Summit Flow Discussion Board. 

This is a thread from the Flow Cookbook, that explains a great way to use Microsoft Flow to automatically transfer files from a local server to OneDrive for business every morning.

This is another entry from the Flow Cookbook that explains where to find a great series of articles that will teach you to use Microsoft Flow to batch schedule Tweets for a Twitter channel!

I hope you could find something interesting from these few community threads that I've shared with you!
