Power Platform Request Limits ; simplifying my code

Hello,

My flow is working correctly but I have the impression I could be simplified a lot as I'm getting a report saying I reach the 1000 request limits in 24h ? As I'm a newbie, I appreciate some help or thoughts.

The purpose of my flow is :

When adding a event in an outlook calendar it has to check for specific words. If found it should assign a specific category to that event.

Underneath a screenshot of my flow. I think I can be simplified, because as it is now, every word to be searched for imbricced into the previous one.

In essence look for "FU" -> apply category x, look for "IMP" -> apply category Y.

Now it's written like look for "FU", if not found, look for "IMP", and so on.

What are your suggestions ?

Thank in advance

Hi Chriddle,

Yes there is : apparently you can export a flow in zip. I just removed the "connexion" in the flow.

I understand the hesitation, but no, there's no virus or other malicious stuff inside.

I hope you'll try, if not, I understand too.

Thanks for your replies!

I doubt that I will find a flow in your link (WeTransfer) ;)

Thanks a lot Chriddle for taking the time to look into this !

I added my original flow : WeTransfer

As I'm not really into this, would it be possible that make a flow based on mine and share it with me?

This way I can analyse it and try to learn what you're trying to explain to me.

I hope you can as it would help me tremendously.

You don't have to code all possibilities, maybe 3 of them and I continue trying to understand what I do.

Kr,

Tom

If you switch the order of the actions, the expressions are even simpler :)

Filter array:

From:

[ {"Search": "FU", "Category": "x"}, {"Search": "IMP", "Category": "y"} ]

Filter:

outputs('Compose') contains item()['Search']

Select:

From:

body('Filter_array')

Map:

item()['Category']

Yes, that can be simplyfied ;)

For simplicity, I use a Compose for the text to be searched, not the Event trigger.

In a Select, check for each search term, if it appears in the text and, if so, write the according category to the output array (empty string, if not).

Then filter for items that are not empty.

The result is an array, that you can put into the Update event (V4)'s "Categories" property (switch to array input)

Compose:

A test FU text

Select:

From:

[ {"Search": "FU", "Category": "x"}, {"Search": "IMP", "Category": "y"} ]

Map:

if( contains( outputs('Compose'), item()['Search'] ), item()['Category'], '' )

Filter array:

From:

body('Select')

Filter:

item() is not equal to string(null)

The result is

and can be used as Categories in Update Event (V4)
