Right
here
we
go
welcome
everybody
to
the
January
15
20,
20
power.
Apps
community
call
it's
our
first
one
of
January
and
we
are
glad
to
be
back
here
after
a
couple
months
off
for
the
holidays.
So
let's
get
going
right
away
and
the
first
thing
is
about
this
call.
If
you
haven't
been
here
before
we
do
this
call
every
month
and
we
do
it
on
the
third
Wednesday
of
every
month
at
8
a.m.
Pacific
time.
So
our
next
call
be
on
February
19th.
B
B
Lots
of
cool
things
happen
over
the
holidays,
give
out
our
monthly
tips
and
wrap
up
with
any
Q&A.
That
hasn't
happened
at
that
point,
yet
so
who's
presenting
well
on
the
call
this
is
who
you're
usually
going
to
see
here,
is
Chuck
and
myself,
and
then
we
have
all
kinds
of
people
from
product
teams
and
community
join
us
as
much
as
we
can.
So
that's
me
on
the
left.
Todd
Baginski,
my
company
is
called
canvas.
B
So
folks
from
MVPs
product
team
members,
community
champions
people
who
identify
with
themselves
as
power
addicts
I
think
we
all
do
here.
So
here
are
many
of
the
folks
here
who
I
knew
we're
going
to
be
on
the
call
ahead
of
time
today,
and
if
you
look
at
the
presenters
section
inside
here
of
the
team's
meeting,
the
Chuck
is
promoting
people
to
present
her
when
he
sees
folks
who
you
know
are
one
of
these
folks
who
loves
to
help
answer,
questions
jump
in
the
call
so
I
see,
we've
got
what
14
people
here
already.
B
So
if
you
have
a
question
and
feel
free
to
ask
it
in
the
chat
there's
over
a
dozen
people
standing
by
to
unblock
you
and
help
you
out
so
this
is
the
power
of
this
call
is
all
the
community
and
the
people.
So
thank
you
for
everybody
for
being
here
and
sharing
your
time
and
knowledge
and
helping
other
people
out.
B
B
Ups
lately
I've
met
a
lot
of
people
and
companies
we've
worked
with,
who
have
started
their
journey
into
power
apps
or
had
someone
else,
help
them
start
their
journey
and
the
power
apps,
and
when
I
found
out
in
many
cases
is
people
have
power
apps
either
proliferating,
just
natively
throughout
their
org
by
just
people
becoming
a
power
app
maker
because
they
can,
by
default
in
a
power,
app
environment
and
power.
Apps
are
spreading
like
wildfire
throughout
their
environment.
B
Companies
like
how
do
we
get
this
under
control
and
I've
also
met
other
folks
who
have
said
we
want
an
alm
story.
We
haven't
started
with
power
ups,
yet
what
does
that
look
like?
And
by
alm
we
mean
application,
lifecycle
management?
In
other
words,
what
do
you
do
to
ensure
that
as
power
apps
are
built
in
your
organization,
you
know
about
them.
B
You
know
who's,
making
them
they're
following
your
policies
and
procedures,
you're
controlling
the
rollout
and
you're,
also
setting
yourself
up
into
position
so
that
you
can
develop
them
as
a
professional
would,
where
you
have
one
environment,
to
develop,
maybe
another
to
test
and
definitely
another.
That
is
just
for
production
where
those
power-ups
get
used,
and
so
because
this
is
a
huge
topic
and
Microsoft's
actually
done
a
lot
of
investment
in
this
lately
which
we'll
get
to
in
a
second
we're
gonna
talk
about
it
for
the
beginning
of
2020
here.
B
So
that's
what
I'm
going
to
do
today
and
in
February
we're
probably
gonna,
have
Casey
Burk
on
from
the
power
apps
engineering
team
and
he's
going
to
talk
about
enhancing
solutions
and
using
environment
variables
with
them
in
March
we're
gonna
get
into
using
PowerShell
to
automate
solution,
packaging
and
deployment
and
I
know
that
Microsoft
does
this
internally
with
some
of
the
groups
we
work
with
on
power
ups
there
and
we
are
also
using
it
to
help
other
clients.
So
that's
something
cool
we
can
show
you.
B
That
is
a
lot
of
the
automation
piece
there
in
March
and
then
in
April
I.
Think
we're
gonna
try
to
get
her
on
right,
right,
Chuck
and
have
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
azure
DevOps
way
to
do
that
same
automation
of
solution,
packaging
and
deployment,
and
so,
if
you've
got
another
idea,
put
it
in
chat,
Chuck's
watching
and
Dana's
watching
a
lot
of
people
watching
the
chat
there.
We
can
note
that
and
get
that
into
what
we
want
to
talk
about
with
ALM
and
the
approach
that
we
have
here.
B
As
you
can
see
on
the
slide,
is
we
don't
have
enough
time
in
the
community
call
every
month
to
do
a
deep
dive
on
every
single
one
of
these
topics
to
the
nth
degree
and
make
you
an
expert,
but
what
we
do
have
time
to
do
and
still
get
in
more
and
more
besides.
Alm
every
month
is
to
give
you
a
high-level
overview
of
the
concept
and
demo
that
to
you
and
then
arm
you
with
resources
and
links.
So
you
have
some
homework.
B
B
Well,
here
you
can
see
I've
gone
to
make
that
power,
apps,
calm
and
I've
logged
in
and
on
the
left
side,
I've
selected
solutions-
and
so
here
is
the
list
of
solutions
that
are
in
this
particular
environment.
You
can
see
that
some
of
them
common
data
services
default
solution
and
default
solution.
These
come
with
your
power,
apps
environment
and
in
the
links
we
have,
you
can
read
more
about
put
into
these
solutions.
How
you
can
use
these
solutions.
You
may
want
to
add
that
you
may
want
to
just
add
to
your
own
solutions.
B
It
really
depends
on
a
lot
of
different
factors:
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
them
all,
but
just
point
out
go
do
some
reading
about
these
and
learn
more
about
them,
and
so
what
does
a
solution
do?
Well
what
a
solution
does
is
it
allows
us
to
take
any
component?
We
have
practically
in
the
Power
Platform.
It
allows
us
to
package
it
up
and
put
it
in
this
thing
called
a
solution,
and
so
it's
really
just
a
zip
file,
and
if
you
come
from
a
SharePoint
background,
you
may
be
familiar
with
the
terminology
solutions.
B
There
I
see
Dan
nodding
his
head,
a
good
old
WSP
file
and
SharePoint.
It's
the
same
thing.
It's
a
zip
file.
It
contains
a
bunch
of
information
and
assets
in
it
that
tell
the
deployment
engine
how
to
deploy
those
assets
to
another
environment
in
a
repeatable
fashion,
and
so
what
you
can
do
is
you
make
a
new
solution
by
clicking
this
new
solution
button,
but
before
I
make
a
new
solution.
B
I
want
to
show
you
an
example
of
a
really
complex
solution,
and
that
is
the
one
for
the
power
platform
center
of
excellence,
and
this
is
also
part
of
the
ALM
and
governance
story.
Maybe
we
should
do
this
on
one
month
as
well
Chuck.
Maybe
we
could
get
Manuela
on
here
to
chat
about
this
piece.
What
we're
looking
at
here
is
a
solution.
B
Anybody
can
download
in
the
home
world
for
the
power
platform
Center
of
Excellence
and
when
you
go,
google
that
or
bing
it
and
find
it
you'll
go
download
this
an
installer
for
the
solution,
file
and
you'll,
install
it
in
your
environment
and
I've
done
that
in
this
environment
you
can
see
I
did
it
six
days
ago.
Here
it
tells
you
when
you
did
that,
and
so
inside
of
this
solution,
you
can
see
there's
many
different
things.
It
contains
look
at
all
these
flows.
This
you
see
the
type
column
here.
B
It's
got
a
whole
bunch
of
flows
that
support
this
solution.
It's
got
a
web
resource
for
an
admin
icon,
I've
got
some
entities
for
c.d.s,
you
can
see
I've
got
canvas
apps
option
sets
more
Reb
resources,
so
here's
a
model
driven
app
client
extension.
This
is
a
very
big
solution
and
then
even
security
roles.
B
Here
now
I
know:
I've
talked
about
security
girls
on
this
call
before
and
how
you
could
package
them
in
a
solution
and
roll
them
out
with
your
power
app
when
you're
working
with
CVS-
and
this
is
just
another
example-
so
as
you
can
see,
there's
tons
of
different
things,
even
a
business
process,
workflow
right
here
that
are
packaged
inside
the
solution.
And
so
what
does
it
look
like
if
we
make
our
own
then
well
I'm,
going
to
walk
you
through
that
today?
B
B
I
was
going
to
give
it
before
and
then
here
I
can
pick
a
publisher
and
I
can
make
new
publishers
if
I
want
or
I
can
use
the
default
again.
That's
just
something
that
is
up
to
you
and
you
want
to
go.
Read
a
little
bit
about
more
about
that
in
the
solution
documentation
to
see
what
makes
sense
for
you,
but
just
to
demonstrate.
I
made
my
own
publisher
and
I
named
it
after
me,
and
then
I
give
it
a
number
here
of
my
version
and
then
I
hit
create,
and
that
goes
real.
B
So
when
you're
working
with
the
solution,
let's
say:
you've
already
developed
a
bunch
of
power,
apps
a
bunch
of
flows
entities
your
entire
piece
of
the
puzzle,
if
you
will
for
developing
an
application
and
the
power
platform,
but
you
haven't
put
it
in
the
solution
yet
and
now
you're
coming
to
put
it
in
a
solution.
So
you
can
do
this
more.
You
know
a
little
bust,
ALM
and
you're
gonna
run
into
some
interesting
things
and
I'd
like
to
show
you
what
those
what
those
things
are.
B
So,
for
example,
if
I
come
over
and
I
look
at
the
flows
again,
you
can
see
I'm
in
the
default
development
environment
here
and
I
have
three
flows
in
this
environment.
This
one
gets
updates
from
the
flow
blog.
It
starts
with
an
RSS
trigger
this
one
is
an
Excel
flow
which
starts
with
an
Excel
trigger,
and
this
one
is
a
SharePoint
flow
for
a
selected
item
one.
So
you
notice
I
call
I
called
these.
That
I
said
and
made
it
before
the
call
and
made
it
before
the
call
I
did
for
this
one
too.
B
So
I
have
three
flows
and,
let's
go
add
those
to
the
solution,
so
I
go
up
to
add
existing
and
then
I
go
down
to
flow
and
I,
say:
okay,
here's
the
flows
outside
of
the
solutions.
What
wait
wait?
A
second
there
should
be
three
here
right.
I
saw
him
right
here.
Why
are
the
Excel
and
the
SharePoint
ones
available
for
me
to
add-
and
the
reason
is-
is
up
here
see
this
little,
this
little
attention
icon.
Some
flows
are
currently
not
available
to
add
solutions.
B
If
you
click
learn
more
here,
this
will
take
you
to
a
link
which
tells
you
more
details
about
which
solutions
you
will
and
will
not
be
able
to
add
or
which
flows
at
this
time.
You
can't
add.
So
why
is
that
important?
And
how
does
that
get
back
to
real
world
one?
When
Matt
discovered
this,
it
turns
out
that
what
we're
working
on
has
seven
flows
in
it
and
they
were
all
created
outside
of
a
solution.
B
All
of
them
are
this
type
of
solution
right
here
on
the
SharePoint
selected
item
trigger
and
so
we're
actually
not
able
to
just
select
them
like
I.
Can
here
and
add
it
into
my
solution.
Instead,
the
only
workaround
is
actually
to
recreate
each
one
of
those
flows
from
scratch.
Using
this
process,
I'm
in
the
solution
and
I
say
new
flow,
and
now
it
takes
me
over
to
flow
and
I
start
making
my
new
flow,
and
here
I
can
then
get
the.
B
Let
me
find
the
SharePoint
one
for
selected
item
again
to
do
it
right
there.
This
thing
this
is
the
same
trigger
that
I
had
before
that
I
wasn't
able
to
add,
because
it
wasn't
added
within
the
solution.
So
now
you
can
see,
though,
when
I
am
inside
of
my
editor,
because
I
initiated
this
from
inside
of
add
a
new
item
to
the
solution
here.
I'm
able
to
do
it.
B
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
just
finish
this
out
with
just
one
quick
action
here:
real
quick
and
just
initialize
variable-
and
this
will
allow
me
to
save
and
now
that
I
have
saved
this
flow
and
it
can.
It
finishes
as
soon
as
it
says,
saving
and
it
is
finished,
save.
If
we
go
back
to
the
page.
We
were
at
before
I've
never
seen
this
one
takes
so
long
to
save
before.
Let's
try
it
anyway,
I'll
come
back
a
little
earlier,
then
it
says
done.
He
says
you're
currently
creating
flow.
B
When
you're
done
come
back
here
and
hit
done.
Ok,
we
can
see
that
that
one
did
get
saved
now.
I'll
hit
done
and
you'll
see
boom.
Now
it's
added
in
there,
and
so,
although
and
that's
something
to
keep
an
eye
on
right,
you
want
to
plan
ahead
of
time
and
make
your
things
inside
of
a
solution.
Otherwise
you
may
end
up
reinventing
what
you
just
reinvented,
because
you're
not
able
to
package
it
and
currently
so
there
I
added
a
couple
flows.
What
else
can
I
add?
B
Well,
let's
add
a
canvas
app,
for
example,
so
here
I
can
come
in
and
I
can
show
you
a
canvas
app
that
I
have
in
my
environment
right
back
here,
and
this
is
my
development
environment.
You
see
this
one.
This
is
the
leave
request
app
here.
A
phone
format
and
I
made
it
just
a
couple
hours
ago.
So
I
could
add
it
here.
This
is
just
one
of
the
out-of-the-box
templates
you
can
get
from
the
web
power-ups
com,
so
I
can
come
back
here.
B
I
can
select
that
power
app
and
it's
added
and
so
on
and
so
forth
goes
the
story
on
how
you
add
things
to
solutions.
As
you
can
see,
you
can
add
canvas,
apps
model,
driven,
apps
dashboards
entities,
environment
variables.
Look
at
all
this
stuff,
pretty
much
everything
you
need
Chuck.
When
we
were
chatting
about
this
yesterday,
you
mentioned
another
thing
that
if
you
didn't
create
it
inside
of
a
solution,
you
would
have
to
recreate
it.
What
was
that
other
item
yeah.
C
Ai
builder,
you
can't
add
that
you
can't
add
the
entities
that
it
creates
the
models
and
you
can't
even
actually
create
them
inside
the
solution
for
right.
Now.
It's
just
a
point
in
time
that
we
need
to
fix
in,
like
the
this
end,
end
I
know
that
we're
we're
targeting
April
4,
we're
also
targeting
they
have
that
done
for
April
as
well.
Some
of
the
fixes
that
you're
looking
at
now
are
some
of
the
issues
you're
fixing
out
now
I
know
are
gonna
have
some
of
the
changes
in
next
week,
but.
A
C
B
C
B
Oh,
that's
good
to
see
that
they're
putting
that
due
diligence
into
that
yeah
awesome.
So
there
I
just
published
all
these
customizations
that
makes
them
available
to
everyone
who
has
access
to
them
in
the
tenant,
not
just
the
people
who
are
developing
them
and
now
I'm
ready
to
export
the
solution
and
take
it
over
to
my
production
environment.
So
that's
really
easy.
You
just
click
export,
and
here
you
can
it'll
remind
you
to
publish
or
run
the
checker
to
check
for
issues
I'm
just
going
to
skip
that,
and
then
here's
where
you
get
to
choose.
B
Do
you
want
a
managed
or
an
unmanaged
solution,
and
so
that
would
take
probably
about
five
minutes
to
talk
through
the
difference
of
those
and
all
the
different
iterations
on
how
they
work.
I,
encourage
you
to
go
read
about
that
part
and
the
links
that
I'm
going
to
show
you
in
just
a
bit
and
the
other
slides
and
in
the
slide
deck
we
will
publish,
do
a
very
good
job
with
diagrams
of
explaining
the
differences
and
what
these
are
and
why
you
pick
one
over
the
other.
B
When
I'm
done
picking
those
options,
then
I
will
go
pick
export
and
essentially,
when
I
export
it
just
made
that
zip
file.
So
here's
my
zip
file
and
I'll
open
it
up
to
show
you.
This
is
what
it
looks
like.
So
you
can
see
here's
the
canvas
app
and
just
like
you
would
export
a
canvas,
app,
there's
the
MS
app
file
and
in
the
workflows,
here's
the
JSON
definitions
of
those
flows.
B
So
now
that
I
have
that
downloaded,
let's
go
take
it
to
another
environment.
So
now
I'm
going
to
flip
over
to
a
different
environment
and
now
I'm
in
my
default
environment-
and
here
you
can
see,
I
have
a
leave
request,
but
it's
not
that
same
one
called
pa
si
si
and
if
I
look
at
the
flows
here
in
this
particular
environment,
we'll
also
see
that
those
two
flows
that
I
just
created
and
and
put
into
that
package.
They
don't
exist
in
this
environment.
Yet
so
over
to
the
solution.
In
this
tab
we
go.
B
You
can
see
that
that
new
solution,
I
made
is
not
here.
I
click
import.
This
is
going
to
pop
a
new
dialog
and,
at
this
point,
I'm,
basically
just
going
to
upload
that
zip
file
and
then
click
Next
a
couple
times
and
wait
for
it
to
import,
and
sometimes
this
little
pop-up
takes
a
little
bit
longer
than
then
you
would
expect
other
times.
It
goes
really
quick.
I
think
I'll
try
to
get
in
here,
Chuck,
who
there
any
questions
popping
up
in
the
chat
related
to
this
so
far,
yeah.
C
Reza
actually
mentioned
that
UI
flows
also
are
not
solution
where
they're
still
in
preview
at
release,
they
will
be
so
when
they
go
GA
and
then
that's
one
of
the
ones
that
me
and
Todd
talked
about
as
far
as
including
that
and
one
of
the
topics
for
the
community
calls,
but
we're
gonna.
Do
it
probably
an
NDA
one
for
the
MVPs
first,
but
we'll
positively
have
it
on
the
community
call
yeah
so
that
what
that
was
from
Reza
that
brought
that
one
up.
C
B
C
And
I
think
it's
back
to
a
question
that
Rick
has
for
you
yeah
and
I'm
gonna.
Read
it
for
you
when
a
power
app
is
in
a
solution
that
solution
is
exported.
Is
it
correct
that
only
the
live
version
is
part
of
that
solution
export
package,
so
the
latest
finishes
which
are
not
published
are
not?
Can
you
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
so
he's
talking
about
is
if
you
haven't
published
your
power
app
and
you
build
a
solution
package,
it
looks
like
he's
saying
that
and
I
think
this
is
right.
B
C
C
David
just
confirmed-
and
this
is
what
I
ran
into
you
last
night-
is
that
you
own
the
unpublished
ones
are
not
in
the
solution
package.
They
you
only
get
the
published
changes.
Hey
Todd,
I'm
gonna
set
your
expectation
I
already
set
Dana
in
the
in
the
call
it's
gusting
up
to
about
30
miles
an
hour
here,
and
these
trees
are
full
of
snow.
So,
all
of
a
sudden,
my
demos
cut
short
I'm
gone.
We.
B
Know
what
happened?
Okay,
yeah!
So
while
you
were
asking
that
I
read
it
again
the
solution
and
that
time
I
got
a
message
that
everything
worked.
It
was
just
one
message
related
to
the
redeployment,
and
so
now
here
we
go
I've
got
the
solution
and
look
I've
got
my
flows
and
my
power
app
available
in
the
new
environment.
So
if
I
go
over
to
apps
now,
here
we
can
see
the
power
up
and
all
I
have
to
do.
B
Is
click
it
and
boom
I'm
up
and
running
with
my
power
app
allow
my
connections
and
everything
will
load
immediately,
just
like
it
does
when
you
export
an
import
of
power
app
except
you
exported
and
imported
it
via
solution.
The
other
thing
is:
if
I
go
over
to
my
flows
inside
of
this
default
environment,
you'll
notice,
they
are
not
in
the
list
here.
So
why
is
that?
Well,
it's
actually
by
design.
B
B
Inside
of
the
flow
editor
now
there's
some
things
to
keep
in
mind
as
you're
editing
or
these
things
inside
of
solutions,
whether
it's
managed
or
unmanaged
your
ability
to
edit
it
and
how
that
will
get
overwritten
with
subsequent
deployments
of
solutions
and
whether
those
solutions
are
managed
or
unmanaged
as
well.
So
again,
I'll
get
back
to
that.
C
So
power
virtual
agents
I've
been
having
so
much
fun
playing
with
these
guys.
You
know
the
big
promise
about
you,
know:
citizen,
developer,
no
code
and
writing
applications.
I
think
this
seems
actually
really
delivered
on
this
there's
I.
Don't
know
that
there's
no!
There
is
some
places
to
add
code.
We're
gonna
walk
through
that
Friday,
but
in
general
you
just
go
out
and
put
text
and
you
actually
give
value
back
to
your
users
and
you
can
actually
kind
of
interact
with
them.
C
If
you
haven't
looked
at
power,
virtual
agents-
here's
one
right
here,
so
this
is
when
I
actually
created
last
night
and
if
I
go
out
and
just
type
in
hello,
it
says:
hey
I'm
your
power,
virtual
agent,
bot
and
I
can
go
out
and
say,
store
hours
and
it
will
go
out
and
say
hey.
This
is
the
information.
This
is
a
website
that
comes
stock.
There
are
14
different
channels
you
can
deploy
to,
but
it
gives
you
an
iframe,
so
you
can
deploy
to
almost
anything.
I
was
playing
with
this
earlier.
C
Here's
a
canvas
app
that
I
put
my
my
bot
into.
If
you
wondering
how
I
did
that,
there's
an
iframe
PCF
control
from
a
hero
named
Yosh,
who
was
actually
asleep
because
and
he's
in
India,
so
big
shout-out
to
him?
Thank
you
for
that.
But
I
thought
it
would
walk
through
how
to
create
one
of
these.
And
what
does
this
look
like?
So
if
you
haven't
created
one
yet
you
can
go
to
the
home
page,
which
is
a
kms
four
slash,
tri
PVA.
C
You
know
those
that
link
is
actually
in
these
slides,
so
it's
tri
PVA
is
actually
the
link,
and
that's
actually
this
page.
You
click
on
that
button
and,
if
you've
never
created
a
bot
before
it
goes
out
and
gives
you
this
interface,
so
you
go
out
and
gives
some
interface
like
Daniel
is
a
star,
so
I
can
see
Daniel
on
my
video
who
nodding
yes
and
choose
crate,
and
what
that
gives
you
is
this.
C
This
is
actually
literally
me
typing
in
I
ID,
because
I'm
actually
playing
with
a
pin
a
day
and
I'm
actually
will
layering
the
bots
into
the
app
in
a
day
and
the
way
you
interact
with.
That
is
something
called
topics
and
it
goes
out
and
gives
you
these
topics
right
off
the
bat
I'm
actually
colors,
one
that
I
added
and
let's
go
ahead
and
show
you
how
hard
it
is
to
add
a
new
topic.
So,
let's
just
say,
I
want
to
look
at
manufacturers.
C
So
if
I
was
gonna,
divide
order
this
and
go
out
and
say
clearly
manufacturer
would
be
one.
Maybe
you
would
actually
have
another
trigger
phrase
of
who
builds
computers,
and
this
is
actually
gonna
start
that
interaction
where
I
can
go
out
and
say:
hey
what
are
the
store
hours
and
now
you
could
go
out
and
say,
but
I
want
to
have
a
conversation
around
that
that's
the
trigger
phrase.
What
are
you
gonna
say
now,
rather
than
actually
having
a
message?
C
It's
been
answering
a
lot
of
the
questions,
and
people
seem
to
have
had
problems
with
this.
Now,
what
the
team's
done
to
make
it
easier.
They've
added
this
crate
flow
button,
which
does
two
things
it
goes
out
and
adds
the
json
parser
as
its
action,
which
is
good.
So
you
can
go
out
and
see
what
was
being
requested
and
it
sets
up
the
trigger
to
be
an
HTP
request.
So
you're
set
up
to
succeed
almost
right
off
the
bat.
But
if
I
go
out
and
say
I
love
oops,
I
can
smell
all
right.
C
C
You
can
scroll
up
and
down
in
any
guesses
as
to
why
it
actually
gets
back
to
a
question
that
Reza
Durrani
asked
in
the
chat
window.
I've
got
a
beer
opener
stainless
steel,
USB
key.
If
someone
could
actually
answer
that
question
is
why
am
I
not
saying,
though,
the
flow
that
I
just
created
I'll
give
it
a
three
count
see
if
anybody
has
that
yeah
hashing
josh
is
amazing.
C
A
lot
of
people
actually
well
I've
been
having
conversations
about
yeah
sh,
a
lot
of
people,
don't
think
he's
a
real
human
or
they
think
he's
a
team
of
people.
He
really
is
a
person
one
guy
okay,
so
it
has
it
two
of
the
today's.
It's
not
in
the
solution
who
day
Oh.
Actually,
someone
beat
him
Reza
it
in
there,
so
the
Phil
it
was
active
but
Reza
and
who
day
actually
I
think
came
in
an
exact
same
time.
It's
not
in
a
solution
iie
all
of
what
Todd
was
demoing.
C
So
if
I
go
back
into
my
flows,
Oh
actually
I
need
to
go
to
my
solutions
and
open
up
any
solution.
It
doesn't
really
matter,
unlike
ai
builder,
where
it
has
to
be
in
the
common
data
service
solution.
This
one
I
could
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
device
ordering
solution
add
existing
just
exactly
like
what
Todd
did
and
I
add.
My
words
flow
am
I
not
looking
at
how
here
it
is
flow
and
I
find
the
whatever,
while
I
love,
Joe
outside
solutions.
C
C
Oh,
it
did
I,
don't
even
have
to
refresh
the
whole
page,
so
there
I
love
you
Joe,
so
that
was
a
shout
out
to
Reza
and
Uday
who've
actually
hit
this.
A
lot
of
people
are
running
into
it
if
you're
still
not
seeing
your
flow
after
you've
gone
out
and
had
a
cheapy
request
as
a
trigger.
You
have
the
JSON
parser
as
your
action
and
it's
in
a
solution.
More
than
likely,
your
JSON
actually
is
malformed
and
it's
not
parsing
correctly
and
flow
is
not
saving
it.
Our
power
automates,
not
saving
it.
C
So
what
else
that
was
mostly
what
I
wanted
to
cover,
but
some
of
the
other
things
that
you
really
want
to
are
pretty
exciting.
Is
entities
actually
Senate
of
the
power
of
virtual
agents.
Bots,
apart
from
some
of
the
other
offerings
where,
if
I
went
in
back
in
here
and
said,
I
want
a
black
Lenovo
that
is
I,
don't
know
some
price
point,
Jun
cetera
and
I
go
out
and
type
in
all
this
information
about
no
I
don't
have
a
trigger,
though
that
captures
that
so
it
doesn't
know
quite
how
to
parse
it.
C
But
what's
happening
is
is
underneath
of
the
covers
a
lot
of
these
things
like
the
the
color,
the
manufacturer,
the
price
point
they're
actually
getting
added
into.
Oh,
where
am
I
at
something
called
entities
so
they're,
actually
getting
populated
and
I
can
go
ahead
and
create
my
own
of
like
color
I.
Think
color
is
already
here
and
date
and
price
to
where
they
are.
C
They
get
Auto
populated
and
I
can
actually
use
those
back
into
my
flow
authenticated,
even
in
an
entity
type
where
I
can
go
out
and
say:
oh,
am
I
on
Takei
t'adore
not
and
I
can
go
out
and
say:
I
want
those
people
to
be
authenticated
and
I
can
actually
make
a
decision
in
my
my
bot
to
say
if
they're
authenticated,
give
them
this
price
and
if
they're
not
give
them
that
price.
It's
pretty
interesting,
the
things
that
you
can
do
the
price.
That
price
point
is
confused.
Yes,
it
is
David,
sorry
about
that.
C
I
shouldn't,
give
it
a
real
price.
The
other
thing
that
actually
is
really
important
for
this
audience
is
that
if
I
went
out
and
created
a
bot
and
I
put
it
inside
of
my
canvas
app
and
it
went
out
and
answered
I,
don't
know
80%
the
questions
you'd
want
to
No
what
were
the
other
20%
that
you're
not
answering
or
even
the
80%.
You
think
that
are
answering.
Are
there
abandons
and
the
analytics
will
go
through
now.
This
is
not
a
good
example,
because
I
just
created
this
bot.
This
is
my
Daniel
as
a
star.
C
I
should
probably
go
out
and
take
a
look
at
the
other
one
that
we're
just
looking
at
here.
We
go
actually
see
something
as
far
as
a
couple
runs
by
the
way,
if
you
notice
right
here,
I,
don't
know
if
you
saw
it
real
quick.
All
of
these
yeah
Daniel
saw
it.
All
of
these
are
actually
powered
by
reports
that
we're
embedding
ourselves.
C
This
is
actually
a
a
power,
bi
embedded
report
and
you
can
actually
get
the
data
itself,
so
you
go
out
and
take
a
look
at
the
sessions
and
export
those,
but
you
can
actually
see
what
were
every
single
run,
what
pathways
that
people
go
through
and
whether
or
not
they
were
satisfied
and
did
they
answer
the
questions
because
part
of
the
bot
experience
at
the
end
is
says:
does
it
answer
your
question?
Okay
and
I
talked
about
the
channels
there
are
14
by
default
I.
This
is
actually
how
I
was
building
those.
C
And
now,
let's
say
that
they've
been
running
an
ad
for
our
friends
at
power,
bi
tips,
my
Carlo
and
Seth
Bauer
and
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
put
my
bot
in
there
if
I
go
ahead
and
save
that
I
think
I
just
need
to
actually
refresh
this
and
browse
the
website
there.
It
is
and
browse
the
website
or
my
website
here
go
now.
When
I
refresh
this
there,
it's
already
refreshing
I
don't
have
to
do
it.
You
actually
see
that
my
butt
is
now
deployed
in
my
power
power
apps
portal.
Just
that
easy.
C
So
let's
go
back
into
the
other
authentication
again
is
actually
what
domain
do
you
want
to
actually
have
these
BOTS
authenticated
against?
So
that's
pretty
cool
I
can
go
back
out
and
use
things
like
Facebook
into
or
my
ad
and
then
finally,
skills
are
where
I
can
go
out
and
reuse
entire
BOTS
built
in
the
Azure
bot
framework
as
actions.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
go
back
into
one
of
these
topics
and
we
were
playing
with
this
one
earlier
and
we
go
out
and
go
to
the
authoring.
C
Canvas
and
you'll
see
that,
under
my
actions,
right
now,
all
I
see
are
flows.
If
I
register,
a
skill
I
can
actually
see
different
bots
that
I
can
call
directly
into.
Let
me
let
me
give
you
an
example:
maybe
I
run
a
veterinarian
site
and
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
have
a
separate
bot
for
dogs
and
separate
one
for
horses
and
I
could
go
ahead
and
call
those
and
say
are
referred
to
those
and
that's
actually
a
call
that
we
are
going
to
do
on
Friday
so
Friday.
C
That
is
not
a
low
code,
no
code
solution.
That
is
a
full-on
visual
studio
as
your
bot
framework,
but
I
can
actually
call
those
as
an
action
from
my
no
code
solution.
So
I
can
start
integrating
and
actually
leverage
layering
on
top
of
those,
so
Todd
I
think
I
actually
covered
all
of
the
power
virtual
agents
and
I.
Don't
know
thirteen
minutes
Todd
any
other
questions.
I.
B
Don't
have
any
more
about
that,
I
I
did
see
somebody
I
think
it.
Somebody
asked
the
question
in
here
and
I
think
it
got
answered,
but
I
just
want
to
double
check.
Someone
said:
is
there
any
way
to
pull
in
the
options
for
the
questions
from
somewhere
else
dynamically,
or
do
we
have
to
hard-code?
Oh,
that
was
pontus
who
asked
that.
C
C
We
talked
about
what's
new
and
that's
actually
a
blog
post,
I
just
published
yesterday
for
Thomas
on
my
team.
So,
yes,
you
can
actually
have
a
bot
troll
a
website
and
pull
in
those
trigger
phrases
and
actually
the
start
of
the
topics.
So
that's
actually
the
first
one
I
can
actually
learn
from
your
website,
and
that
is
actually
a
on
the
the
power
of
virtual
agents
blog.
C
That
was
a
post
that
we
published
yesterday
and
then
I
also
promised
a
bot
skills,
webinar
link
and
there
it
is
that
we're
actually
going
to
be
looking
at
on
Friday
and
again,
I
want
to
say
expectations.
The
first
thing
that
we're
gonna
be
going
into
is
Visual
Studio
for
code
and
we're
gonna
be
registering.
Some
manifests
to
actually
get
it
working
inside
of
power,
virtual
agents,
but
hopefully
you'll,
actually
see
that
creating
bots
is
fun.
C
Super
super
powerful,
positively
delivers
on
the
low
code
or
in
this
case,
no
code
solution
for
delivering
all
kinds
of
topics
and
what
I
do
instead
of
just
calling
flows
a
lot
of
times
actually
will
refer.
People
back
to
links
like
here's,
a
PDF
file
or
here
is
actually
the
form
that
needs
to
be
filled
out
and
it
breaks
me
from
actually
creating
UI
for
delivering
applications.
So
if
I
can
shim
this
stuff
into
something,
more
people
can
interact
with
it.
I
can
actually
deliver
that
value.
C
An
interesting
statistic
I
was
just
looking
at
was
that
65
percent
of
all
the
people
that
call
and
support
so
65
percent
of
all
collinsport
would
rather
actually
self-service.
Rather
than
calling
and
talking
to
somebody,
the
the
average
price
for
some
of
our
customers.
We've
been
talking
to
for
a
phone
call
starts
at
five
dollars.
That's
that's
the
buy
minimum
Brian
price.
One
of
the
questions
that
we
haven't
gotten
or
I
haven't
seen
in
this
call
was:
how
much
does
it
cost
to
actually
run
this?
C
There
is
a
60
day,
trial
up
front,
so
that's
free
and
then
there's
another
30
days.
You
can
add
on
to
the
off
of
that.
After
that,
the
runs
cost
fifty
cents
each
and,
unfortunately,
you
do
have
to
buy.
Two
thousand
runs
worth
so
there's
it's
a
thousand
dollars
buy
and
I've
seen
a
couple.
People
on
Twitter
asking
about
that.
C
I
have
actually
given
the
feedback
back
to
the
team
that
they
would
like
to
have
a
graduated
or
are
somewhere,
maybe
even
at
75
cents,
where
they
only
have
a
hundred
runs
or
something
like
that
where
they
can
actually
buy
into
it
at
a
smaller
price
point,
and
that's
not
in
the
short-term
plans.
I
have
actually
talked
the
marketing
team
and
said
hey.
This
is
something
that
we've
keep
hearing
a
time
and
time
again
any
plans
and
that's
not
yeah
in
the
plans
at
50
cents.
Each
that's
certainly
palatable.
B
C
Yeah,
so
my
email
address
is
CH
a
SS
at
Microsoft,
comp
email
will
figure
out
how
how
to
have
it
to
get
you
one
of
those
USB
keys
or
something
for
actually.
Knowing
that
and
the
question
I'm
not
going
to
ask
III
know
how
long
it
took
for
me
is:
how
long
did
it
find
it?
Take
you
to
discover
this
page
and
figure
out
that
this
was
the
thing
that
you
were
actually
missing
so
I,
again,
I'm
not
going
to
embarrass
myself.
I
won't
tell
you
how
long
it
took
me
to
first
time.
C
B
Right
thanks
for
the
demo
on
that,
that's
really
cool
stuff,
but
I
got
to
kick
the
tires
on
that
and
try
that
out
down
at
ignite
on
the
expo
floor,
like
two
days
after
they
announced
it,
and
that
was
really
fun.
I
couldn't
believe
that
in
the
course
of
I
had
someone
guiding
me
through
it
when
I
built
it,
and
we
build
a
very
simple
question
and
answers.
B
But
the
point
is:
is
within
like
five
ten
minutes,
we
had
built
the
100
level
BOTS
right
there
and
it
just
blew
my
mind
having
coded
them
and
c-sharp
with
the
SDK
before
how
easy
it
was.
Let's
see
oh
I
got
you
day
like
oh
I
got
excited
for
the
USB
stick.
Maybe
we
should
give
out
more
than
one
Chuck.
B
C
A
C
A
A
Days
two
days
bit,
checkout
and
I'll
get
the
just
touching
the
port,
we'll
install
all
the
bits
and
pieces
and
I
think
there's
a
little
block
somewhere
on
how
to
uninstall
it
as
well.
There's
a
little
worm,
PowerShell
and
command
people
on
effect,
ships
pitch
XML
to
think
you've
got
uninstalling
in
the
one
in
the
order
that
I
reinstall,
but
just
get
get
everything
in
there.
That
you're
ever
going
to
need
is
a
default
before
you
start
using
that
environment
have
solutions
it
because
otherwise
it
is
currently
a
nun
in
a
bit
mess.
B
Here's
that
here's,
the
resources
that
you
can
look
at
to
rape
yourself
up
on
this
and
I,
really
put
them
in
the
order
that
I
did
it
during
the
call
here
today,
so
go,
read,
read
the
docs
top
down
here,
get
an
overview,
learn
how
they
work
in
power.
Apps
create
one
import,
one
export
one
and
you'll
learn
how
to
do
exactly
what
I
showed
here
today
and
a
whole
lot
more
about
it.
This
documentation,
there's
not
a
ton
of
it.
B
You
can
get
through
this
in
an
hour
hour
and
a
half
and
and
have
a
good.
You
know
effective
time
to
read
it
and
really
focus
in
on
the
material
and
then
I'd
like
to
point
out
an
office
365
developer
podcast.
My
friend
Jeremy
runs
this
podcast
with
Paul
Chafin
and
another
guy
in
the
industry
named
Chris
O'brien.
B
B
Recent
news:
well
again,
here
we
are
in
this
ALM
theme:
the
power
platform
center
of
excellence
circuit
just
got
an
update
back
in
December
and
so
all
kinds
of
cool
new
things
in
that
update.
I,
encourage
you
to
go
read
up
on
that.
More
governance,
the
power
platform,
admin
and
governance
white
paper
is,
is
now
available,
with
an
update
and
so
I.
Remember
that
that
white
paper
came
out
in
2018
if
I
remember
correctly,
and
it's
just
recently
been
updated
with
some
of
the
new
technology
and
things
available
for
us.
B
So
I
encourage
you
to
go
check
that
out
as
well.
Some
things
not
related
to
ALM
is
canvas.
Apps
now
have
components
in
canvas.
Eps
now
have
support
for
their
own
connectors
directly
to
the
component,
which
is
a
really
big
deal,
because
now
you
don't
your
component
completely
stand
on
its
own,
including
how
it
accesses
data
and
be
portable
from
one
power
up
to
another.
B
Then
these
last
two
I
found
the
bottom
link
yesterday
on
Twitter
and
I
saw
the
top
link
here
from
Matt
shared
it
with
me
this
morning,
and
they
they
kind
of
go
hand
in
hand
and
they're
really
cool
these.
These
two
articles
will
show
you
how
to
take
office,
UI
fabric
icons
and
turn
them
in
SVG
and
then
add
those
SVG
icons
to
your
power
apps.
So,
if
you're
trying
to
brand
your
power
apps
with
office
UI
fabric
and
the
icons
within
it,
this
is
an
incredible
one-two
punch
to
allow
you
to
do
that.
B
Moving
on
the
community
contributions.
So
all
these
folks
I
spotted
on
Twitter
with
either
this
hashtag
or
just
something
they
shared
with
regard
to
power.
Apps
caught
my
eye
and
there's
Yash's
name
popping
up
again
and
Manuel,
he
is
the
one
who
is
responsible
for
that:
icon,
generator,
I,
believe
Chris
was
also
involved
in
and
one
of
those
two
blog
posts
and
trying
to
remember
who
did
which,
but
you
cut
here
as
well.
All
these
folks
go
follow
them
on
Twitter
or
at
least
follow
this
hashtag.
B
If
you're
looking
for
people
who
are
putting
out
good
cool
quality
content
on
how
you
can
do
neat
things
and
good
things
with
power
apps,
it's
a
thanks
to
everybody
like
like
this
whole
call
is
awesome
and
this
whole
community.
It's
awesome.
My
tips
related
alm
for
this
month
treat
your
power
platform
alm.
Just
like
you
would
any
other
technology,
whether
you're
doing
asp.net
or
nodejs
or
angular,
or
react
development
or
sharepoint
framework
or
whatever
the
story.
B
Maybe
you've
got
an
alm
story,
make
another
one
for
power
apps
and
don't
just
treat
it
like
the
Wild
West
plan,
your
story,
upfront,
hopefully
by
the
end
of
the
series
of
the
next
few
months
with
our
call
here.
You'll,
know
everything
you
need
to
at
least
get
started
on
your
planning,
if
not
make
your
whole
plan
and
then
put
everything
you
can
inside
of
solutions.
Chuck's
got
a
few
tips
for
everybody
this
month
as
well.
All.
C
Right
number
one
go
out,
build
a
bot.
There's
that
link
go
out
and
hit
it.
You
do
need
to
have
an
environment,
so
you
might
have
to
create
an
environment
first,
but
it's
just
as
easily
giving
a
name
and
it's
really
easy
to
get
started.
So
that's
my
number
one
tip
number
two.
It's
actually
been
in
the
chat
window
a
couple
of
times
before
you
reinvent
the
wheel.
C
Please
do
go
out
and
take
a
look
at
the
community,
our
ops,
comm
gallery,
there's
tons
and
tons
of
pretty
amazing
samples
in
there
and
if
you
actually
have
written
a
cool
sample-
and
you
want
to
share
it-
please
hit
the
upload
button.
I
share
that
wealth
of
knowledge
with
other
people.
So
that
way
they
can
take
advantage
of
it
as
well.
And
if
you
aren't
already
a
member
of
your
local
user
group,
I
again,
most
of
people
who
are
actually
answering
these
questions.
C
B
You
know
what
I
just
saw
the
annual
point
out
in
the
chat
find
your
local
app
in
a
day
event.
That
is
so
true.
It's
a
great
way
and
one
day
for
lots
of
the
folks
on
this
call
host
those
to
go
out
and
eat
those
folks
and
go
through
a
focus
training
where
you
start
with
nothing
and
you
walk
out
building
a
power
up
and
some
flows
and
learning
about
CVS
and
other
kind
of
power
platform
things
in
the
course
of
a
single
day.
B
It's
a
great
program,
so
that'll
wrap
it
up
for
our
first
call
of
the
year.
Here,
thanks
everybody
for
joining
us
today,
we
will
have
this
call
available
soon
on
the
office
developer,
YouTube
channel-
and
hopefully
we
see
you
all
on
February
19th
for
our
next
call
and
the
of
the
year
here
for
power
platform,
power,
apps
call
thanks
again
everybody
thanks,
Chuck
thanks
everybody
for
answering
the
questions
and
we'll
see
you
next
time.
Thanks.
