How to Outline a Power Automate Cloud Flow from a Trigger List
Cloud flows invent SharePoint connectors. Triggers and actions only from the list. Not Zapier.
The matching generator is the Power Automate Cloud Flow Outline from a Trigger and Action List (No Invented Connectors) (Power Automate Cloud Flow Outline From A Trigger Action List No Invented Connectors) prompt.

Lock the trigger from Inputs
Outline a Power Automate cloud flow from a trigger and action list. Only named connectors. Not Make.com, not Zapier, not n8n. Start by filling Inputs, not by asking the model to remember last week's run. If a field is blank, write NONE or NOT IN INPUTS and leave it blank through Generate. The card is built so the model cannot honestly invent a number, owner, URL, or command that you did not paste.
Paste these fields before you hit run:
Trigger description: [Trigger]
Action list (ordered): [Actions]
Connectors I allow (exact names): [Connectors]
Environment (or UNKNOWN): [Env]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
What I must never invent: [Never]
Output format: [Format]
Language: [Lang]
Error path notes (or NONE): [Errors]
Premium connectors policy (NONE unless listed): [Premium]
That inventory is the honesty ledger. Anything that does not appear there is forbidden in the draft. If you catch yourself adding a nice-to-have after the run, you are no longer using the card. You are ghostwriting. Put the extra fact in Inputs and run again.
Actions only from the named list
Generate is numbered on purpose. Do not skip a step because the first paragraph looked done. The early steps exist to stop later prose from smuggling claims.
Walk the Generate list in order:
- Honesty ledger: Trigger, Actions, Connectors, Env, Errors, Premium, Lang.
- Flow title suggestion from Trigger nouns only.
- Trigger step using only Connectors.
- Ordered action outline; each step must cite a Connector from list.
- Env: if UNKNOWN write ENV UNKNOWN.
- Errors: if NONE write ERROR PATH NONE.
- Refuse: inventing connectors, Make.com, Zapier, n8n blocks.
- Compliance pass: Banned and Never. Format as Format. Gaps list of five.
If a step asks for a version lock, quote the version from Inputs in the output. If a step asks for a refuse list, keep the refuse list in the published artifact, not in a sidebar you delete. Reviewers should see what the model was not allowed to do.
Leave connector versions UNKNOWN
Most failures are the same shape: a missing field gets a confident fill. A conversion rate appears. A Gradle task appears. A flash point appears. A caption appears on a job that asked for slide text only. Your review is to search the draft for numbers, names, and commands, then grep Inputs. No match means cut.
Honor the constraints as hard stops, not vibes:
- Power Automate cloud flow from Trigger+Actions only. Named connectors only.
- Never invent connectors not in Connectors.
- Not Make.com, Zapier, or n8n.
- No emojis.
When the card says not legal advice, not certification, not an exam dump, or not a caption engine, that sentence belongs at the top of the output. Deleting it to look more finished is how you inherit risk.
Refuse Make.com and n8n forks
Finish with the compliance pass the prompt already asks for. Quote the banned-word hits. Cut them. Print character counts when the job has a cap. Print word counts when the job has a budget. List gaps as gaps. Five missing facts are more useful than one smooth paragraph.
Tags on the card (power automate flow outline, cloud flow from trigger list, no invented connectors) are a reminder of the job shape, not an invitation to wander into a neighboring cluster. If you need a different surface, open a different PromptDig card rather than stretching this one.
Fill the card, then run
Replace every bracket. Run on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Read the ledger first, then the artifact. If the model invents a commit, KPI, DOI, PEL, bid, or logo, discard the run. Tighten Inputs. Run again. Share the filled card that survived, not the first draft that sounded done.
