Using Text to Create a Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LionGate 10

Is it possible to create flows using text like in a more traditional code editor? I'm a big fan of MS Power Automate but as I get more familiar with the different actions it seems like it would be much faster to type rather than to drag/drop blocks.

Thanks!

    As part of Microsoft Power Platform, PAD is intended to be a "low-code / no-code" tool... not sure if Microsoft will change that, would be a little incoherent to product concept IMHO.
