How Power Automate works

When it comes to automation, the possibilities are endless. As well as using pre-built templates from Power Automate, you can create your own automated workflows between apps, effortlessly setting up functionalities such as alerts, emails and push notifications. Here’s how it works: 

Create a workflow – Use Power Automate to create an original multi-step flow, or choose from hundreds of templates. You can connect to over 150 data sources (or connectors) to collect data, synchronise files, and receive notifications. Then create workflows which can be scheduled, triggered manually, or automatically performed based on actions. 

Easy and seamless integration with other applications – Beyond moving data around, Power Automate can formulate automated workflows that connect you to your data as well—irrespective of its location. This enhances team collaboration and productivity across your organisation, creating seamless integration with OneDrive, SharePoint and Dynamics 365. 

Keeps processes consistent – Once a workflow is set up in Power Automate, the workflow acts in the background to alert you to specific notifications, upload files, and completed desired automated tasks. You can easily trigger workflows to update records in another system, highlight the new field to an employee or even check if the records match another data source.

You can teach Power Automate processes by doing them and recording them and it can learn the steps and then take over.

Attended RPA processes are where a user has to select the process they want the automation to run for and run it on their PC. Unattended RPA is where the process automation runs automatically without user intervention.
