Expressions can be scary, especially if you’re new to Power Automate, but they don’t have to be. In this session, we will go over some powerful expressions, how to use them, why use them, and how to test them. We break down the expression syntax to easily understand what is happening. Novice or expert, there is always something new to learn about Power Automate expressions.
After the session, users will be able to utilize expressions to:
