An evergrowing Power Automate Trigger Reference
My way of explaining each trigger with as much detail as I can. You’ll find suggestions, best practices, things to avoid, and limitations.
Schedule
Articles will come out every Wednesday, always at 1 pm Lisbon Time. I have a lot of actions to explore so don’t get disappointed if your favorite actions are not here yet.
If you’re looking for other references you can find:
- Power Platform
- Microsoft 365
- SharePoint

Time permitting, I’ll increase the frequency, but I think this is the right balance so that I can keep on delivering valuable information in a defined schedule.
