A related comment from @abureaux in Power Automate workflow using Survey123 Connector from 2023: I have used Power Automate to automate S123 for a (newly) multinational company for the last ~2.5 years. I have ~300 automations set up for various purposes. A large number of those automations are rather complex as to support high-level business operations. I have encountered the odd issue/error that causes unexpected/unexplained failures, but some simple error handling auto-corrects those. The biggest hurdle I've encountered was when Esri releases updates that break things. They typically fix those mistakes with ~24 hours. Definitely the most stressful times... Overall, I am quite happy with the level of redundancy, security, and reliability. While I haven't done an official up-time calculation, we are definitely way up there since my record of downtimes is almost non-existant this year (beyond my regular EOM maintenance). They really simplified the automation process for Enterprise this year as well, which is nice.

I’m an AGOL creator, but not an administrator. I want to use the legacy free Survey123 connector in Power Automate (using my individual Power Automate user account) to mock up a proof of concept: When a survey is submitted in Survey123, send an email and create a feature in a different feature layer. If that kind of mechanism ends up being what we want, then I will ask I.T. to buy a premium Power Automate license and set up a proper ArcGIS [Online] connector using a “service” Power Automate user, and migrate the Survey123/Power Automate integration to there. Question: Where can I find instructions about how to set up a Survey123 connector in Power Automate?

This idea is to have an option in a group layer's context menu to sort layers alphabetically. Related: table of contents- sort layers by alphabetical order in folder

As a refresher, and for any novices, what's the difference between these Enterprise-related terms? ArcGIS Enterprise ArcGIS Portal ArcSDE Enterprise Geodatabase (eGDB) The database: Oracle/SQL Server/Postgres/DB2 A company will have databases with names like MYPROD, MYDEV, etc. So, someone might say, "Can you do task abc to MYTABLE in MYPROD?" ArcGIS Server (AGS) ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Related: ArcGIS Enterprise: The portal is a content management system…

If anyone's wondering, if someone says "ArcSDE (SDE)", "Enterprise Geodatabase (eGDB)", "the Oracle/SQL Server/Postgres/DB2 database", or "ArcGIS Server (AGS)", then they might be referring to ArcGIS Enterprise. Although they're not exactly the same thing as ArcGIS Enterprise. ArcGIS Enterprise Terminology

@TravisSaladino It seems like the word "portal" is sometimes used to describe both ArcGIS Online (AGOL) and Enterprise, such as in Catalog in ArcGIS Pro. ..."portal" is sometimes used to describe both AGOL and Enterprise. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/catalog-pane-rename-quot-portal-quot-tab-to-quot/idi-p/1534657/highlight/true

It would be great to have built-in email functionality to alert a user when a new feature is created. If Esri is worried about there being too many features or too many emails, then you could limit it to one email per day per feature layer, or something like that. AGOL already has built-in email notifications for failed pipeline jobs. This idea is to expand that built-in email functionality, which would be preferred over more fragile Power Automate integrations. This is something that Esri’s competitors do well, such as IBM Maximo. Everyday, non-admin users can set up built-in, reliable email notifications with the click of a button. It’s wonderful. It would be great to do that in AGOL too. Related Survey123 idea: Built-in Survey123 email notification (to staff when survey submitted)

The Getting to grips with ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate blog > Prerequisites section says: There are workflows you can create which make use of free connectors but we will not be covering them in this blog. How can we use free connectors? I’m new to Power Automate.
