How to Use Scopes to Clean Up Your Flows | Power Automate | 2023 Tutorial

Hi Everyone,
In this video, I demonstrate how to clean up your Power Automate Flows using the Scope Action. The Scope action will encapsulate a bunch of actions together to make the Flow more readable. I highly recommend using scopes if your Flows have 10 or more actions as it can get complicated for the user to read.

Scopes are also very helpful for error handling. If any action within a scope fails, the entire scope fails, so it's easier to define follow up steps (using "Configure run after" in settings of subsequent actions). I just wish Power Automate allowed for variables to be initiated inside of scopes...I have a bunch of flow where I need to create a half-dozen variables right at the start and I kind of hate those "Initialize variable" actions cluttering things up.

Would be a nice feature

I have been frustrated over the same thing, only with conditions. Have not used scopes before, but watching this I realized that it is possible to use scopes to gather all the "initialize variables" also!

@@Krinabr While the new designer allows you to add or move an "initialize variable" action in a scope, you won't be able to save the flow unless you move it outside of the scope.

@ I realize I was a bit too quick with that reasoning ahaha.... Obviously this wont work, that was the whole point of his comment 😂Hope there will be a feature like this in the future!
