Power Platform Developers Weekly - Issue #88

By Power Maverick • Issue #88 • View online

Welcome to the Power Platform Developers Weekly!

I have two cool tips for you. The first one is a Chrome extension that highlights the environment (just like XrmToolBox does) and credit goes to the XrmToolBox Master - Tanguy Touzard. The second tip is related to those chats when your colleague says “I will get back to you” and they secretly wish that you will forget to follow up. Well not anymore as Priyesh shows us how to use Power Automate flow to send reminders on a specific message.
