Dynamics 365 - related entities

If I create a workflow in Dynamics 365, I am able to include quite a bit of detail without much effort. This includes fields from related entities and the record URL.

 

 

Currently, if I want an email with a table of opportunities that need follow up, or were created in the last week, the HTML table includes fields that are in the Opportunity record only. If I want the status, it returns the number, not the words "Active" or "Inactive". If I want the account, it returns the GUID, not the account name. In workflows, I can even include the record URL so that my user can click back. In MS Flow, I seem unable to do this.

 

I can get these things using Workflows in Dynamics. I'm told that everything I do in Workflows should also be able to be done in Flows. I'm not experiencing that. Has anyone solved these issues?

    Hi @Posegate,

     

    I am afraid that there are some differences in functionality between Workflows and MS Flow in certain scenarios or when creating automated processes.

    Please check the following link and see if it helps:
