Update to Connector Reference Documentation

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3

The following public documentation includes a description of the behavior of polling triggers as part of a troubleshooting article:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/power-platform/power-automate/flow-run-issues/triggers-troubleshoot?tabs=new-designer#trigger-fires-for-old-events

 

However, although the following public documentation is a trigger reference, it does not indicate whether each trigger is Polling or Webhook, nor does it link to the above article that explains the behavior of polling triggers:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepointonline/

 

Users cannot realistically read and retain all published documentation. We would appreciate it if related articles were linked from relevant sections.

 

Ideally, for each trigger, the documentation would explicitly state whether it is a Polling trigger or a Webhook trigger, and for all polling triggers, a link to the following article would be added to each trigger section:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/guidance/coding-guidelines/optimize-power-automate-triggers#polling-triggers

 

If that is difficult to implement, as an alternative, please clearly specify the trigger type (Polling or Webhook) in each trigger section, and add a link to “trigger-fires-for-old-events” in the following section:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepointonline/#known-issues-and-limitations

    Did you know that you can propose updates to some Microsoft learn documentation?

    Here's a guide on how to do so - 
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/contribute/content/how-to-write-quick-edits

    On the below link for example, scroll to the top, click the 3 dots and click 'edit'. This then redirects you to Github where the content is hosted. From here you can make edits and submit it for approval by the Microsoft Content Team.
