Microsoft Power Automate

Every team has jobs nobody wants to do. Someone copies the same numbers into a spreadsheet every Monday. An approval sits in an inbox for days because no one chased it. Power Automate handles that kind of work for you.

What is Microsoft Power Automate?

Power Automate is Microsoft's tool for automating tasks and workflows. You build a “flow” that does a job for you, like moving data or routing an approval, and it runs on its own. Business users can build one with low-code tools, and developers can take it further.

What Can You Automate?

If a task is repetitive and follows the same steps each time, Power Automate can probably do it.

A few of the common ones:
Task Automation & Notifications
Trigger actions and send alerts on their own, so nothing waits on someone remembering.

Data Synchronization
Keep the same data up to date across your apps, with no manual copying.

Approval Workflows
Route requests to the right people and track sign-off, without the email chain.

Feedback Collection & Analysis
Gather responses and sort them automatically, ready to act on.
Document Processing
Pull key details out of invoices, forms and PDFs with AI Builder, with no manual data entry.
Legacy System Automation
Use desktop automation (RPA) for older systems that don't have modern connectors.
