Course details
In this advanced course, Phil Gold walks through several time-saving automations that use Microsoft Power Automate Flows to solve common business tasks, including Flows triggered by specific events, scheduled Flows that occur at set times, and instant Flows that can be triggered as needed, even from mobile devices. Phil takes a pragmatic approach to the tool to create automated routines that provide improved data collection and sharing abilities, quick ways to boost personal productivity, better methods of notifying team members and managers of important events, and more. Starting with Power Automate supplied templates, Phil shows learners how to construct effective and powerful Flows. Phil also takes time to point out places where templates don’t work as planned and how to modify them to get the desired outcomes.
