One of the top-voted requests on the Ideas forum<\/a> is for us to add triggers for the Microsoft Planner connector. This week we are announcing three new triggers:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Now you can set up many types of flows that copy Planner to whatever personal tool you use for tracking your tasks.<\/p>\n Another common ask<\/a> is to be able to copy attachments on SharePoint list items – so we have added several new actions to work with attachments. First, you can list all of the attachments for a given item in a SharePoint list. This action is called\u00a0Get attachments<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Get attachments\u00a0<\/strong>action outputs the properties <\/em>of the attachments, such as the Name, URL and ID, but it does not include the actual attachment file content. To get the content of the attachment (if, for example, you want to save those attachments to another data source) you can use the new\u00a0Get attachment content<\/strong>\u00a0action:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you do this, you may get an apply-to-each loop since it will be running this action for each attachment.<\/p>\n Second, you can add attachments to existing SharePoint list items. Just search for the\u00a0Add attachment <\/strong>action:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Third, there is an action for deleting existing attachments on list items called\u00a0Delete attachment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Next, there is a new connector called Flow management<\/strong> – this allows you to automate actions like creating flows, deleting flows, adding permission to your existing flows, creating connections and more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can read about the full list of actions for the connector here:\u00a0https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/connectors\/flowmanagement\/<\/a>. There are even admin-level APIs, so if you are an Environment admin you can use this connector to manage all of the flows in your environment. For example, if you want to ensure that every flow has a certain security group as an owner, you can create a management flow that iterates over all flows and adds that permission to each of them. Please note that we have implemented some limits to prevent the creation of a large number of flows with this new connector.<\/p>\n In addition to the Flow management connector there are four other new connectors:<\/p>\n Finally, some of the other existing connectors have new functionality as well:<\/p>\n This week we are announcing that another top request from the community<\/a> is now available: triggers for the Microsoft Planner connector<\/a>. A second highly requested feature available this week<\/a> is to work with Attachments in SharePoint lists. There is a new Flow management connector that can be used to automate the creation and management of flows. We also have four other new connectors: Enadoc<\/a>, Custom Vision<\/a>, the D&B Optimizer<\/a>, and SIGNL4 (Derdack)<\/a> and new functions in other connectors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":347,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","power-automate-category":[2752],"power-automate-tag":[],"coauthors":[2913],"class_list":["post-110921","power-automate","type-power-automate","status-publish","hentry","power-automate-category-product-updates"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
