Get to Know the Control Connector in Power Automate
In this how-to video, UG Expert Heidi Neuhauser highlights the various actions within the control connector in Power Automate and explains how they can enhance automations.
Key Takeaways
- Condition: The “condition” action in Power Automate allows you to create different branches of logic based on whether a condition is true or false, enabling you to define separate sets of actions for each scenario.
- Apply to each: The “apply to each” action automatically appears when additional steps are added to a Flow, allowing you to perform a set of actions on each item in a collection, such as an array or list. This ensures that the specified action is executed for every individual item in the collection.
- Do until: The “do until” action runs a block of actions until a specified condition becomes true, while the “scope” action groups actions together, allowing for parallel execution of multiple branches within one Flow.
- Switch: The “switch” action is similar to the conditional action but offers more options by branching based on multiple possible values of any variable. This allows you to handle various use cases within one Flow without relying heavily on conditions.
- Terminate: The “terminate” action is used to stop a flow immediately when a specified condition is met, making it ideal for custom error handling or scenarios where no further actions are needed, preventing unnecessary processing.
