Get started with Power Automate

-

 Introduction

            Microsoft Power Automate is a no-code/low-code drag-and-drop solution that allows users to create workflows to automate repetitive tasks and business processes.

            Power Automate is an online workflow service that automates actions across the most common apps and services. For example, you can create a flow that adds a lead to Microsoft Dynamics 365 and a record in MailChimp whenever someone with more than 100 followers tweets about your company. Microsoft Power Automate is all about process automation. Power Automate allows anyone with knowledge of the business process to create repeatable flows that when triggered leap into action and perform the process for them.

Here are a few examples of what you can do with Power Automate.


* Automate business processes

* Send automatic reminders for past due tasks

* Move business data between systems on a schedule

* Connect to almost 300 data sources or any publicly available API

* You can even automate tasks on your local computer like computing data in Excel.


here are three ways to launch a flow:

1.Start from scratch with one of the workflows listed above.

2.Use an existing template.

3.Select a connector.




How to create a Power Automate Flow

In this example, we’re going to use a template to post a message in Microsoft Teams when a new item is added to Planner.

To start using Power Automate, log in to Microsoft 365, and use the app launcher to open the program.

From the homepage, you can:


Get started quickly with templates.

Check available connectors.

Manage your flows.

Create a new flow.

 Search for ‘Planner’ to find the template.

You may need to sign in to Microsoft Teams and Planner.




Select continue.


On the next screen, you’ll see how the workflow is constructed. Power Automate is a highly visual tool, simplifying the management of workflows.




 Here, you can add important information such as the Plan ID, Team, and Channel.

Click Save. That’s it – you’ve created a simple flow to improve team communication.

There are a few ways to validate the flow, including Flow Checker and Test.

At any time, you can check the status of a flow under ‘My Flows’.

In this area, it’s easy to:

Edit individual flows
Share flows with a team member
Check the history of a flow.

    Model-driven apps           Model-driven app design is a component-focused approach to app development. Model-driven app design doesn’t require code and the apps you make can be simple or very complex. Unlike canvas app development where the designer has complete control over app layout, with model-driven apps much of the layout is determined for you and largely designated by the components you add to the app.   Model-driven apps start with your data model – building up from the shape of your core business data and processes in the Dataverse to model forms, views, and other components. Model-driven apps automatically generate great UI that is responsive across devices.           Model-driven app design doesn’t require code and the apps you make can be simple or very complex.  With model-driven apps, much of the layout is determined for you and largely designated by the components you add to the app. Form...
