Yesterday, I designed the idea and the main layout of a simple tool to translate Action Names or Trigger names from Logic App Design to Code View equivalent, and gave my team the freedom to implement it. Diogo Formosinho created a .NET Core application, the tool we published yesterday: Logic App/Power Automate Action Name to Code Translator Tool.
📝 One-Minute Brief
A .NET Framework utility that translates Logic Apps and Power Automate action display names into their internal code identifiers, making it easier for developers to write expressions, templates, and automation logic when working with workflow definitions.
On the other hand, Luis Rigueira decided to go more old-school and create a simple Windows Application using the .NET Framework. Both do the same and have almost the same look and feel. The main difference is that one is built on top of .NET Core, and the other on top of .NET Framework 4.7.2.
Once again, the major problem is that when we need to use the name of the Actions inside Expressions, many times, we need to replace the spaces of the action or trigger name with underscores. If we see the Code View or peek at the code of the action, we will see that all spaces are indeed replaced by _ (underscores). And this is sometimes a time-consuming and annoying task. This tool is so simple and stupid, and I love it! It is a tool that will improve productivity for Logic App Developers!
This second version of the tool is a Windows Application built in .NET Framework 4.7.2. and you can download, for free, here:
