What is swaty ?

@MadMadMadMrMim sweaty with a typo

@Alt-Tab oh

Let me guess - Flow/Power Automate?

Yeah it sends a double notification sometimes if the flows haven’t been rerun successfully. Makes for some sweaty cups of morning coffee

@boombodies we use MS GraphQL APIs from Power Automate so yes it's basically that I think

@Alt-Tab Yeah they are funny critters. I have to check them every day to make sure MS doesn’t randomly turn them off. I think that was a temporary bug as they rolled out the new automatic turn off for inactivity but for the next 3-6months I’m not taking any chances.

Besides that it’s a nice platform. I wrote a macro that automatically responds to all emails with “No”. It has really sped my daily workflow up.

@boombodies yes, I generally like it but sometimes they just casually change the type interface for an API breaking everything..

lmao, and your colleagues don't mind that? :D

It’s mostly managers that email me asking about status so fuck ‘em. The status is “No”.

They’re just happy to get a fast response.
