The joker action
When we are developing a flow, we need to think in steps. This mentality is very important if you want to be successful with your automation. Power Automate allows you to restart flows, making it easy for you to test, and after you change flows, you can test them again. When you open a flow, you can see the status of each action and its input and output.

As a tool that integrates numerous systems, Power Automate has more than 400 connectors, adding more than 1,000 actions that can be done in the flows, from actions such as sending an email or posting a tweet, to complex actions such as generating a document and making screen simulations.
Within these actions, we have an action called the compose action. I prefer to call it the joker action, given that it can be adapted and used in any flow and in different ways. This action can be used to save yourself from having to enter the same data...
