Workflows and App Builder Agents
Hey everyone,
I have recently started using the Workflows and App Builder Agents, which are currently in preview through the Frontier programme and I would like to know your opinions on these tools as well.
From my side, Workflows:
- didn't work once for me, most of the time, the flow is correctly generated, and connections are established but the flow fails to save.
- when it did save (that two times), it couldn't use the Outlook getEmails actions to pull information and errored out
- we don't have any DLP policies to block its use, so I don't understand why nothing is working here.
- last, it's no possible to edit the flow, which is not a great experience especially when trying to figure out what went wrong.
App Builder:
- users need the permission to create a fresh sharepoint site for each app, this is a horrible experience for admin, as there could be hundreds new sites as users play around with the agent, why not allow users to pick an already established site, as all it does is create a list to store the information in?
- it's not possible to edit the app manually, so you're stuck talking to the agent for a long time to make changes that would take seconds in the PowerApps editor.
- when making changes through the editor, you can ask the agent to change a single thing in the app, then it 'kinda' understand and changes the entire thing either way, adding to the frustration.
So all-in-all, both agents are a great concept, but they are still waaaay behind in what they promise.

At least you're one step ahead of me. đMy agent doesn't start with meaningless messages:
Flow Builder is not available
To use the Flow Builder agent, contact an administrator and ask them to update the Dataverse solution to 1.9.21.2 or higher.
Environment ID: Default-XXXXXError message since 2 weeks:
Workflows is not available
Something went wrong. Contact your administrator to keep your environment up to date before using this agent.
Environment ID: Default-XXXXXHowever, everything necessary seems to be up to date. The relevant solutions âMicrosoftFlowExtensions...â now also have version 1.9.32.0.
A support ticket was opened four weeks ago.
