Stay hydrated đź’§đź’§đź’§ using Microsoft Teams, Flow and PowerBI

Recently, I was looking for some app to remind me to drink water and monitor my waterintake. I know you might say - JUST REMEMBER IT YOURSELF! However, I am a geek who likes to use technology to give me some nudges. So, I reviewed a bunch of apps but none of them had the exact thing I was looking for. Some of them were too fancy and some were asking to PAY for the “pro” version.

Hey Siri, Create a Support Ticket - with Eric McKinney from G&J Pepsi

https://youtu.be/JYHkVyFampM Hello #PowerAddicts! In this video, I had the pleasure to chat with Eric McKinney from G&J Pepsi who watched mine and Jon Levesque’s video on connecting Siri to Flow and then made a support ticket system out of it within a few hours. Join us to learn how to use the iOS shortcuts app to trigger Siri, provide some inputs and then send it to Microsoft Flow to create a new ticket in a SharePoint List. This makes it much quicker (like 5 seconds) for G&J Pepsi’s employees to create a support ticket. You can find Eric on Twitter - https://twitter.com/rowdybrownsfan Watch Eric’s video at the Microsoft Inspire keynote here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA8aRy_WM4s Watch mine and Jon’s video on connecting Siri to Flow here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3B9Ivs9dxA ...

Quick Tip - Use Flow to publish your PowerApps on a regular basis

Flow Screenshot It is a good practice to publish all your PowerApps regularly as sometimes the enhancements/features don;t show up until you publish the app. You can use Flow and the “PowerApps for App Makers” connector to publish your apps on a regular basis. ( I do it on a monthly basis) Hope this helps. Link to the flow files here - https://github.com/thatapiguy/Publish-All-PowerApps-using-Flow/ Comments: Michael - Feb 5, 2023 ...
