Plan a potluck lunch with Teams and Adaptive Cards

With the holidays quickly approaching in a lot of offices once-a-year or very infrequent activities are in full swing. Power Platform is a great tool to help with those time-consuming processes that come up occasionally, even the ones that are just supposed to be for fun.

In this video we use Microsoft Lists, Power Automate, Teams, and actionable Adaptive Cards, to build a really quick tool to help organize the food at that annual office potluck for the holidays. But, when the holidays are over, use these skills to build tools for invoice coding, expense claims, or anything where you need to gather structured information from your colleagues inside Teams.

In this video we also look at the important issue of concurrency in "Apply to each" actions in Power Automate, demonstrating a scenario where parallelism is essential and sequential processing just wouldn't achieve the desired result.
