How to automatically refresh rollup fields with Power Automate

Want to refresh rollup fields in Dataverse or Dynamics 365 the low-code way? Watch this WTF episode to learn how. I showcase how to use the CalculateRollupField function in the Dataverse/Dynamics 365 web API, and two methods to automate refreshing rollup fields with cloud flows. Towards the end I talk about whether it's worth it since there are limitations with cloud flows.
