When working with SharePoint Online and Power Automate (Flow), you might reach a point where the standard “Update item” action isn’t enough. Perhaps you need to update system-managed fields (like Modified or Created By ), or you want to update an item without triggering other flows or incrementing version history.

We’ll cover how to set up the HTTP request, the JSON body format (with examples for various column types), and explain the benefits of this approach. What is validateUpdateListItem and Why Use It?

Power Automate OData Filter Query 101: Filtering SharePoint Columns for Beginners

-
Image
When building Power Automate flows with SharePoint, you often need to get list items or files that meet specific conditions – for example, “all completed tasks created after Jan 1”. Instead of retrieving all items and then filtering in the flow (which is slow and inefficient), you can use the OData Filter Query option on the Get items (or Get files (properties only) ) action.

In this beginner-friendly guide, we’ll explain what OData filter queries are, why they’re useful, and provide examples for filtering various SharePoint column types . We’ll cover Yes/No, Date, Currency, Lookup, Choice (single and multi-select), Person (single and multi-select), Hyperlink, and Managed Metadata columns. For each, we’ll describe the SharePoint column setup, show the Filter Query syntax to use in Power Automa...

Using SVG Images in PowerApps: Scalable Icons, Dynamic Data, and Animations

-
Image
Why Consider SVG in PowerApps? SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images offer several advantages over standard image formats like PNG or JPEG, making them ideal for PowerApps: Infinite Scalability: SVGs are vector-based, so they remain crisp at any size. You can resize an icon or graphic without any loss of quality – no more blurry images on high-resolution displays [1] . This is perfect for apps that need to look good on everything from phones to large monitors. Small File Sizes: SVGs are essentially XML instructions for drawing shapes, not pixel-by-pixel data. This typically leads to smaller file sizes and faster load times compared to bitmap images [2] . A lighter app means better performance for your users. Transparency and Styling: SVG supports transparent backgrounds (unlike JPEG) [3] , so your icons can blend seamlessly with any theme or color. Moreover, because SVGs are code, you can edit their colors or shapes via ...
