Is this course for me?5:16
Introduction to the course.
Setup your course computer and subscriptions.2:40
In this lecture we go through the environment and subscriptions setup. Check resources for link to download pages.
Course Road Map - IMPORTANT1:36
Make sure you don't skip this lecture. It is important to understand how this course is structured.

Understanding Data Objects3:49
A brief introduction to the concept of Object.
JSON In Action - 112:00
In this lecture we start working with JSON and experience it in a simple HTML page.
Jason In Action - 25:23
In this lecture you will see how to convert a JavaScript object to actual JSON string.
Why did we go through JSON first?6:10
In this short lecture you will see why you need JSON to understand and work with Flow expressions.
Test your JSON knowledge!

Introduction to Flow Data Operations1:45
And introduction to Data Operations
Working with Compose Action9:30
In this lecture we walk through using Compose action in Microsoft Flow
Working with Array "Filter" Action9:47
In this lecture you will learn how to filter an array of objects using Array Filter action.
Working with "Select" Action9:40
In this lecture you will see how to convert one array format to another format using "Select" action
Did we just miss Parse JSON?4:54
Parse JSON is not about working with expressions, although it is an important action among data operations actions. It is very easy to work with and when used for the right scenario it is extremely useful.

Inside Flow Triggers9:05
In this lecture we examine inside elements of a trigger object.
Inspecting trigger objects using expressions5:22
In this lecture we examine inside elements of email trigger object.
HTTP Triggers - The main reason we need trigger expressions15:42
In this lecture you will learn how to analyze the content of a HTTP trigger using expressions
Test your Expression knowledge on HTTP triggers3:34
This is a short assignment. It is optional but it is great to build your confidence before we move into writing expressions
Calling Actions from Expressions - The lost lecture :)5:35
In this lecture you will learn to call actions using Flow expressions.

What are we going to learn in this section?4:06
This is the introduction to the expression functions.
Working with Manipulation Functions5:53
In this lecture you will learn to work with 3 important manipulation functions:
1. addProperty
2. removeProperty
3. setProperty
Working with Collection Functions6:14
In this lecture you will learn to work with three important Flow collection functions:
1. length
2. contains
3. join
Working with Referring Functions4:38
Referring functions are the ones we use to refer to Flow elements (triggers, actions, variables and array items). This lecture is a brief review of what we have learned so far.
Working with Conversion Functions4:57
In this lecture you will see how to work with two important conversion functions in Microsoft Flow.
Working with Math Functions5:06
A quick review on basic math functions.
Working with Date and Time Functions8:29
In this lecture we learn about date and time functions and how to work with them. I also added a few tips and tricks to work with date and time.
Working with Logical Functions5:58
This lecture is a quick comparison between Logical functions and visual actions like "Condition". You will get a better insight on which way to go when implementing conditional statements.
Working with String Functions7:38
In this lecture we go through the core string functions that are available with Microsoft Flow.

Requirements

Familiarity With Workflow Development with Microsoft Flow
Good Understanding of Flow Triggers, Connectors and Actions
Microsoft Flow Crash Course
Familiarity with Javascript Object Notation (JSON)

Description

This course contains almost 3 hours lecture which is obviously more than 2 hours in the course title. The core training for Microsoft Power Automate expressions is actually around 2 hours, but we decided to include 30 minutes as introduction to JSON for students that are new to JSON. If you already know JSON, feel free to skip that section.

The last section if the course is simply putting most of things we learned during the course in a real life example. That also added almost 30 minutes to the course.

This is not a beginner course. We assume you already know how to create workflows with Microsoft Flow using visual designer. In this course we dive into working with data from different sources using Flow expressions.

In this course you will learn everything you need to write expressions effectively and figure out how to use Power Automate data operations (Filter Array, Select, Compose).

Although most of the course engages you with writing code and expressions, they are extremely easy to follow and build expressions once you understand the model behind the expressions.

If you are new to Microsoft Flow, first complete my beginner course about Microsoft Flow called "Microsoft Flow Crash Course" before you start this course.

Who this course is for:

Flow designers/developers who want to work with Data
Workflow developers who want to build complex Flow
