Using Power Automate Flows to sent daily RSS digest e-mails of Power Platform documentation updates

It is quite a challenge to keep up with the rapid updates of the Microsoft documentation on Power Platform but did you know that you can use a RSS feed based on a search in the Microsoft documentation? https://docs.microsoft.com/api/search/rss?search=powerapps&locale=en will return a RSS feed with all recently updated pages on https://docs.microsoft.com about the Power Platform.

Power Automate contains a RSS feed to send e-mail template but this flow will sent out an e-mail every time a page is updated which will flood your mailbox. So I built my own flow to receive a daily digest e-mail using Power Automate.

Here are some of the things I learned on the way (to be honest I don't use Power Automate flows that often):

• I trigger the Power Automate Flow on a daily basis so I am using the List All RSS feed items actions to RSS feed items since a specific date (use the formatDateTime function for the expected format)

• Some days no new RSS feed items will be published, so you need to check if the RSS body is not empty, otherwise you will sent out empty e-mails.

• Learn to use the Copy and Paste flow actions  - you won't built the logic correctly in the beginning and with copy and paste you can alter your logic a little easier. 
• Learn basic data operations in Microsoft Power Automate - e.g. you can use the Compose action without the overhead of declaring variables. Since Power Automate is based on Azure Logic Apps - you can also take a look at that documentation e.g. Perform data operations in Azure Logic Apps
• Take a look at the Webinars and videos gallery from the Microsoft Power Automate Community - it helped me understanding the ParseJson function as well as provided some input on using Html Table.
