Summer System Cleaning: Automation and Process Tune-Up
In part 3 of her “summer cleaning series” for Power Platform environments, Kylie Kiser focuses on tuning up automations and processes.
Key Takeaways
- Workflows: Workflows should be reviewed, and outdated on-demand processes should be disabled. Additionally, ensure ownership is assigned to the proper service/admin account, and configure completed workflow runs to be deleted automatically or cleaned up through bulk delete jobs.
- Cloud flows: Review cloud flows to identify errors, optimize high-use and failing flows, and disable scheduled or one-time-use flows that are no longer needed. Validate connection references, clean up unused configurations, and assess flows across the entire tenant to ensure they are properly licensed and efficient.
- Users and service accounts: Finally, review application users, service accounts, and connection references regularly to ensure they have the correct licenses, appropriate security roles, and only the permissions needed to perform their functions. Monitor long-running or aging flows for performance issues or outdated triggers, updating where possible.
