Hi everyone,

I’ve built a free Chrome extension for Power Automate that I’d like to share with the community. It’s called Power Automate UI Switcher. Full disclosure: it was vibe-coded, since my background is only in the Power Platform, but it works surprisingly well.

Besides letting you switch between the new and the classic designer, it has a few handy features:

• Resize the expression editor and, while writing an expression, filter the dynamic content and insert it directly into the expression
• Search for actions or expressions in a flow and even find and replace text
• View and edit the JSON of the entire flow or of a single action
• Open actions and expressions faster in large flows
• View a list of flow runs and filter on any column, including string parameters that are formatted as an object

Give it a try! The extension walks you through the main features itself, and there’s also a guide that covers all of them.

It’s completely free, with no ads and no data collection. You can find it here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/power-automate-ui-switche/glofemnmpcpglbbchhikjfdmnlpokbic

Feedback and feature requests are very welcome!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Power Automate and I'm struggling with the trigger for one of my flows.

My flow basically does this:

Data source → Power Automate → Fill Word template → Generate Word document

I originally used an Excel file in OneDrive and manually triggered the flow from Power Automate. The flow itself works, but I don't want the end users to have to go into Power Automate every time.

Everything has now been moved to SharePoint, and I'm trying to find a clean way for users to trigger the document generation.

I'm currently considering replacing Excel with a SharePoint List and triggering the flow from there.

The ideal UX would be something like:

1. User adds/updates the data
2. User clicks something like "Generate document"
3. Power Automate fills the Word template
4. The generated Word document is saved in SharePoint

Would a SharePoint List be the right approach here? Or is there a better way to keep Excel while still giving users an easy way to trigger the flow?

Edit: I just realized that I'm using a premium component in my flow. Does that mean every end user would need a Power Automate Premium license to run the flow from the SharePoint list, even if they aren't directly using Power Automate?

Thanks!
