My ClipBoard – Copy paste action in power automate tips

June 10, 2020

Sometimes power automate flow become lengthy and when there are repeating steps with few tweaks and tricks that and manually mapping everything is frustrating but there is a Copy past feature most of us has seen but I never tried it ( tried using CTRL + V )

But while working on long logic flow felt the need of knowing how this power automates action copy past work.

You will notice a tab at the very end of choose an action “MY Clipboard”, if you have not copied anything , this would be blank.

The best part is we can also use this copied action across different Power automate the flow

But there are some pointers to keep in mind

  1. After coping we have to resolve the references
    I.e  body(‘Get_response_details_forms_lead‘)?[‘r8c8b777a372645dfb3f715f60e4c6b78’] is copied and pasted to different Section to flow, there the body name of reference can be different body(‘Get_response_details_forms_Contact‘)?[‘r8c8b777a372645dfb3f715f60e4c6b78’]
  2. Connections can be different for other flow or step
