Using Microsoft Power Automate to Cross-platform Post

Microsoft Power Automate (PA) can be used to reduce the amount of tedious upkeep required for today's social media. Here, we will use to automate the publishing of this article to multiple platforms.

This is a manually triggered flow, requiring the entering of the article URL, descriptive text, and pressing a button. (This is in contrast to an event that is triggered due to some external action.) The entered values for the Input and Description fields are used in the successive steps. Note that to post to my personal LinkedIn, I included those values. Similarly, though not shown, the post to my company page is populated.

To post to Twitter, I created a separate branch. This will allow for the post to Twitter to be made, regardless of the result of the posting to the company page. But both, however, depend on original posting to my personal page. The Twitter post is just the combination of the two values.

Here is the flow.

Awesome! We live in the future.

Heavenly Father, You did not make us as robots; you gave us a choice to trust and believe in you. Thank you. (And, thank you for robots.)
