Power Automate: Teams - When keywords are mentioned Trigger
Fires when a message in a watched channel or group chat contains one of your keywords. Single words only.
Some topics are too broad and complex to cover in a single article. That does not mean I want to skip them, so here I share high-level thoughts about a specific subject. They might spark several follow-up articles or stand alone, but the point is to convey the main idea or concept clearly. I call these overviews because that is exactly what they are. A few sit slightly off brand for this blog, and when they do I still work to make them relatable and engaging while keeping that broad, big-picture mindset so things never get too dense. There is no schedule for these posts. I write them whenever I stumble onto a topic that interests me, so expect them to appear sparingly among the more focused work here.
