Connection References

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 179

Can anyone point me to a good primer on utilizing connection references?  I am ready to pull  out my hair over this.  I regularly create solutions with 7 or 8 flows and will routinely end up with that number or more connection references for a single type of connection (O365 email).

I then need to go in, fix all the references, then clean up both my environment's connection list as well as the solution.  

 

This may not bother a lot of folks, but my documentation for each flow is really specific, and more than that, it makes a big mess when reviewing.

 

Any tips?  Or even just a link to some thorough articles.

    Did you review the Microsoft documentation on using Connection References in flows in solutions?  The trick is to create your connection references first and then use them in the flows. That way you can have one connection reference for each connection and set of credentials.
