SharePoint Saturday Stockholm 2018

This past Saturday (September 1) I had the great pleasure of presenting my new PowerApps Jumpstart session at SharePoint Saturday Stockholm. This was my first time in Sweden, and I’m really enjoying it! (I’m still here, staying for 6 days altogether.) The speaker dinner on Friday evening was at Aifur, a Viking-themed restaurant in Gamla…

Flow: Work past the 30-day limit

I wrote a post over on the Flow Community Blog about one way to deal with the current limitation in Microsoft Flow that only allows a Flow to run for 30 days at the most. The basic idea I had was to check a scheduled date in a list on a recurring basis, and if…

SharePoint Saturday San Diego 2018

Southern California in mid-January… who doesn’t want that? And a day full of SharePoint learning on top of that – and beer with friends afterward… can’t be beat! We were looking for something to do during January that wasn’t too far away from northern California where we spent November and December, because we need to…

WitGirls podcast

Super stoked to have been the first guest on the WitGirls podcast this week! This is a relatively new podcast (this was Episode #6) hosted by Lise Rasmussen and Christina Gibson out of Sweden. According to their website… There aren’t many podcasts by women in our genre and that is the reason I wanted to…

My session was an introductory “Making Your Life Easier with Microsoft Flow”, and the slides are available via this link: Microsoft Flow…

PowerApps/Flow: Deleting a Connection

I was doing some housekeeping on my PowerApps and Flow connections this evening, and found this nice little safety net… To delete a Connection (say, for example, you no longer have access to a given email account), you just click on it in the list of connections: If you blithely try to click the deletion garbage…

Flow: Tweets about events

As part of my “Power to the People” session (presented at SharePoint Saturday Pittsburgh, several events in South Africa, and SPS Caribbean), I demonstrate a Flow which creates an item in a SharePoint custom list when there’s a tweet containing a particular hashtag (for example, a tweet about the event at which I’m speaking). This…
