Microsoft Flow offers various connectors, also for integration with onprem systems. To be able to connect with an onprem SQL server, SharePoint server or file server, a gateway service must be installed at a machine in the LAN where the server is available. To setup the gateway navigate to the Microsoft Flow service in your Office 365 portal and click on the gear symbol and then on “Gateways” (see screenshot below). There you will find the option “+ Create Gateway” where you can download the Microsoft Gateway service. ...
Recently I got an error in my PowerApp when trying to get an Office 365 User Profile, although this was working before: “The service returned an error: Office365Users!MyProfile: {“status”:402,“message”:Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.”,“source”:“127.0.0.1”}". See here how to deal with such scenarios. Well, first I tried to check my Office 365 User connection, removed the data source and added it again. But this didn’t change anything, the app still reported the same error. ...

PowerApps allow to access a web or photo camera of a device. When using the camera, sometimes I got a message “To access the camera, check your device settings”. Irritating. See my workaround here. So, when I got this message in the camera control … I got mad, because I didn’t find out where to allow that access on my computer (especially because it worked before). I checked device settings, the camera control settings, PowerApps settings, googled… ...
PowerApps is licensed in the Office 365 environment and offers three license plans: PowerApps for Office 365 and Dynamics 365, PowerApps Plan 1 and PowerApps Plan 2. Since it often is not clear, if end users who want to use (and not create) a PowerApps app need a license or how licensing works with data sources, I want to inform about licenses, show some samples and clarify that topic here. ...
PowerApps are a great way to accomplish simple tasks by end users. A new PowerApp is usually done in minutes (if the underlying data source is existing and working). Nevertheless, it often takes much more time to polish the app and to find and modify details. So I decided to post from time to time some tips when stumbling upon any topics in PowerApps. A driver’s log I wanted to use a very simple custom SharePoint Online list to allow colleagues to log their travels with a company car. At every destination, the user shall simply protocol his location and the mileage, and optional some information about the customer or the appointment. Very little fields, just to keep it handy. ...
