Summary

In this chapter, we started by providing an overview of PAD and how this product has been integrated by Microsoft into their Power Platform ecosystem. We saw that the product fits perfectly into Microsoft’s strategy and fills the gap in desktop software integration very well.

In our first example, we learned how different Office programs can be integrated to automate a repetitive process. Instead of handling each message and document separately, PAD saved the documents and extracted the relevant information. Thereby, we were able to save a lot of time by automating this process.

In the next chapter, we will create a flow by taking a small and very useful tool to help us: the recorder.
