A vignette is a darkening (or lightening) of the edges of a composition, to subtly frame it and draw the eye in to the middle. It’s an old photographer’s darkroom trick. Lucky for us, I’ve spent many hours in the darkroom and have grown to appreciate the charm and effectiveness of a good vignette. Here’s how, and why, you can make them for your ArcGIS Pro map.

Thanks for watching, and happy vignetting!

P.S. If you’d prefer, for some reason, to see me do a version of this demo in front of a live studio audience, you can find that here. But you should just ignore this link.
Hey Sean,
This is exciting. Do you know when it’ll be available on the Government tenant? It doesn’t show up in my flow yet. Thanks- Julie
Hi Julie – we are working with Microsoft to get an estimated date when the connectors will be available to the Government tenant. We will post a note in the ArcGIS for Power Automate Community when we get information.
Hi Sean, Thank you for the blog post – exciting functionality. I just have two questions. 1. I started testing the ArcGIS Power Automate connectors, but realized that they require a “Premium” Power Automate subscription. I cannot use it like I can use Survey123 in the free Power Automate? 2. The method to connect to “Get Geometry from a layer”, Can i use any polygon, line or point feature services in my organization OR am i limited to the boundaries available from the “Location Types” in the ArcGIS for Power BI Visualizer, because i see that one of the mandatory… Read more »
Interesting, yet I don’t understand why there is no direct connector in PowerBI that would also support ArcGIS Enterprise Portals. I’ve written the custom connector myself that does allow you to connect to AGOL or Portal via OAuth2.0, does the token refresh and runs the query against the FL REST API along with pagination (if maxResults limits the response)…
Not everyone wants to be pulling the data using the connectors in Power Automate…
sorry, what I’d welcome would be a simple REST API Query connector where users would (in its simplest form) query the data via url that can obtain in REST API … Thanks
I have made several cloud flows in PA for to my survey123 forms. When testing a flow, they appear to work and send an 365 email, but then stop working when survey’s are submitted? Last Fri, one flow just starting working and sending emails… on Monday that same flow has not responded? Any thoughts?
Does this connector with Enterprise or just Online?
Hi Shawn – currently the ArcGIS Connector for Power Automate only works with ArcGIS Online. We are working on building a connector that will work with Enterprise, but are not ready to release it yet.
Thank you. have any clue when release date is?
No updates as to the release date yet – we will keep you posted as capabilities are planned.
Please feel free to contribute to the Esri Community with your ideas and functionality requests.
Thanks, Sean, do you know anything about error message when using custom connector, ‘cannot add more than 1024 properties in the webhook payload?
We are trying to use ArcGIS “Find Address Candidates” connector at CDC. We tried using both ArcGIS and ArcGIS PasS with “No Stored” option. Both results in “Token is valid but access is denied”. With the same token/login details we can make direct rest API call. Any idea why we might be getting access denied?
I have a workflow that is using Power Automate connector with ArcGIS Enterprise to send emails with a completed Survey123. After working out great for free with our Microsoft Office suite license for about 5 months, Microsoft is now saying this is a Premium connector. Is this correct? If correct this is a big blow to my workflow. Can this be?!?
Hi there, i am new at using Power Automate with Survey123 and was wondering whether it was possible to create a flow that will email someone specific depending on a choice from the survey (e.g. if I choose from drop-down: property type: office, then email person A, if I choose property type: Shop, email person B, else, email person C). when checking the flows in can see the condition option, but receive the following error: ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied. The execution of the template action ‘Send_an_email_(V2)’ skipped… anything that i should consider, any good resource go get best practice advice on how to… Read more »
Hi Sean, thanks for the article. Can you provide an update as to whether this now works with AG Enterprise?
Sean: I’m watching #MSIgnite and wondering if the connectors work with MS Copilot. Would be great if we could create our own Copilots for Teams using Copilot Studio that integrate with our Enterprise or AGO rest and other systems so people could use natural language in Teams to ask questions and get answers from the data.
