  • No round() in Power Automate? Here's what to do instead (plus advanced math via mathjs) 
  • Update company information on accounts in Dataverse using Data8 
  • How to use service principals to stabilize business-critical flows and bypass flow request limits 

Take charge and stay ahead with Power Platform Monitor alerts 

On the Power Platform blog, Arjun Mayur wrote that Monitor alerts help Power Platform admins stay ahead of issues instead of constantly chasing them.  

Mayur stated that instead of checking dashboards over and over, you set custom health limits and get notified when apps or flows start to fall behind.  

He noted that it's built right into the Power Platform admin center, requires no setup, and works across canvas apps, model-driven apps, cloud flows, and desktop flows. That way, admins can fix problems before users even notice. 

In his blog post, Mayur explained in detail why Monitor alerts matter, where you can find them, what you can alert on, how you can get started getting alerts, and best practices.

On the PowerApps911 blog, Jeff Taylor wrote that if you've ever tried rounding numbers in Power Automate, you've probably run into a frustrating limitation: there isn't a built-in rounding function.
