Workflow Automation with Microsoft Power Automate, Second edition

Getting Started with Power Automate

In the first chapter, we introduced some of the basic concepts of Microsoft Power Automate. Now that you’re familiar with some of the ideas and terminology behind Power Automate, let’s take a look at navigating the interface.

As a Power Automate user, you’ll have access to the web portal interface (most commonly used) as well as the desktop and mobile interfaces. If you administer a Microsoft 365 tenant, you’ll also have some administrative features available.

In this chapter, we’ll tackle the following:

  • Logging in to Power Automate
  • Creating your first flow

You’ll learn the features of the interfaces, and then we’ll create a basic flow to post to a Teams channel.

Let’s get started!

MS Power Automate is a workflow automation tool built into MS 365 to help businesses automate repetitive tasks or trigger business processes without user intervention. It is a low-code tool that is part of the Microsoft applications framework, the Power Platform. If you are new to Power Automate, this book will give you a comprehensive introduction and a smooth transition from beginner to advanced topics to help you get up to speed with business process automation. Complete with hands-on tutorials and projects, this easy-to-follow guide will show you how to configure automation workflows for business processes between hundreds of applications, using examples within Microsoft and including third-party apps like Dropbox and Twitter. Once you understand how to use connectors, triggers, and actions to automate business processes, you’ll learn how to manage user input, documents, and approvals, as well as interact with databases. This edition also introduces new Power Automate features such as using robotic process automation (RPA) to automate legacy applications, interacting with the Microsoft Graph API, and working with artificial intelligence models to do sentiment analysis. By the end of this digital transformation book, you’ll have mastered the basics of using Power Automate to replace repetitive tasks with automation technology.

First of all, my review of this book is from someone very experienced in the subject matter and has been implementing the topic on a large project.I was given a copy to review, so here I am. I was excited to get involved in the topic as the ways to implement power automate in a project are infinite. I was hoping to get a jump start on certain areas that I haven’t yet used in my current projects.The book did not disappoint as it covered a wide range of power automate areas with a light coverage of how to implement a couple of requirements on each topic.I was able to gain some starter insights in a few areas I haven’t yet used on my projects such as desktop automation and AI models.The writer moved at a great pace and didn’t distract from the material with too much obligational off topic humor.All in all I give it 5 stars for delivering on its mission statement. If you have experience delivering on all topics than it may not be for you. But if you are a pure beginner or looking for a primer on a topic or 2 than this book is for you.

This book would’ve saved me lots of time earlier in my Power Platform journey. The concepts are well explained and the examples are detailed. While the majority of content is more suited for beginner/intermediate creators, there is still plenty of helpful information in the later chapters that advanced users will find helpful.
