The Microsoft 365 suite is a collection of cloud-based solutions:
- Outlook Online,
- SharePoint Online,
- Microsoft Teams,
- etc.
Also included in this ensemble is Power Automate, Microsoft’s workflow solution. Power Automate flows can use dozens (and dozens) of connectors to link both Microsoft and non-Microsoft solutions into automated processes:
- Asana
- MailChimp
- YouTube
- Salesforce
- etc.
Essentially, an action triggers the process, then a series of actions are initiated as tasks. These workflows can be simple or complex, but they’re are completely customizable…
Sample Workflow #1:
Post a message in Microsoft Teams when an email is received in Outlook.
Sample Workflow #2:
Get notified once Microsoft Forms receives a submission and the results are copied to a SharePoint Online list.
Sample Workflow #3:
Once a day, review open Microsoft Planner task items and email the task owners. Afterwards, post an update to the group’s Slack channel.
Conclusion:
There are Power Automate templates available, but the solution fosters flexibility. Create custom workflows with unique combinations of linked solutions…
