Power Assist empowers you and your organization's citizen developers to solve business problems faster than ever with the Power Platform. Whether you need to quickly sort an Array, perform advanced filtering, make mathematical calculations, execute a Regular Expression on a string, escape HTML, check the type of a value, or do one of many more common tasks, Power Assist makes it simple. No more long, complex expressions, convoluted conditionals, and inefficient looping: Use Power Assist to make your Power Automate workflows fast and easy to build.

Prerequisites

You must first create a free RapidAPI account. This is required to be able to authenticate to the API. If you are signing up on behalf of your organization, consider creating an Organization in RapidAPI so that other users at your organization can share access to the API without sharing RapidAPI credentials. See how.

How to get credentials

  1. Go to the Power Assist API and ensure you are on the Pricing tab. If you are signing up on behalf of your organization, make sure your organization is selected in the dropdown above the pricing options.
  2. Subscribe to your desired plan. The Basic plan is FREE and offers access to all endpoints, but has a hard limit of 50 requests per month. The Pro plan is a paid subscription offering access to all endpoints, with a soft limit of 3,000 requests per month.
  3. Sign in or create your account. If you are signing up on behalf of your organization, consider checking the box to create an Organization in RapidAPI so that other users at your organization can share access to the API, without sharing RapidAPI credentials.
  4. Enter your card information, if applicable.
  5. Once you are subscribed, go to the Endpoints tab and locate the X-RapidAPI-Key in the Content Snippet in the right column. Copy this value, as you will need it to authenticate in Power Automate.

Get started with your connector

  1. In the Power Automate portal, create a new flow or edit an existing one.
  2. Add a new action to your flow and in the "Choose an operation" menu, search for "Power Assist" under the Premium tab.
  3. Select your preferred action.
  4. You will be prompted to supply a Connection name and API Key. Enter a memorable name of your choice for the name. For the API Key, paste the value that you copied from the X-RapidAPI-Key earlier. This Connection will be saved by Power Automate, and available for use in future flows.
  5. That's it! You can now use Power Assist actions in all your Power Automate flows.

Known issues and limitations

There are no known issues specific to Power Assist at this time.

If you sign up for the free Basic plan on RapidAPI, there is a hard limit of 50 requests per month using that API Key. That means if you make more than 50 requests in a given month, you will receive an HTTP Error response on subsequent requests until the first day of the next month.

Under the Pro plan, there is a soft limit of 3,000 requests per month. That means if you make more than 3,000 requests in a given month, you will be charged a small fee of $0.05 per request on each request above the 3,000 threshold, until the first day of the next month.

Common errors and remedies

HTTP 400 If you receive a 400 "Bad Request" HTTP response and a message that indicates a validation issue, it indicates that there is an issue with the parameters passed to the Action. Check that you are providing valid inputs for all required parameters.

HTTP 400 - "Bad RegEx pattern detected." If you receive a 400 HTTP response and a variation of this message, it indicates that you need to revise the RegEx Pattern value you passed in for an Action that executes a Regular Expression. Remember to begin and end your RegEx Pattern with forward slashes (/). Optionally, add flags following the last slash. Example 1: /.+/ Example 2: /.+/gi

Creating a connection

The connector supports the following authentication types:
