Summary and resources

Completed

In this module, we addressed the challenge of automating workflows efficiently and how it can be handled using Microsoft Power Automate. We explored the process of building cloud flows, including how to initiate them with triggers. We also covered how to use AI-powered tools like Copilot for flow creation and troubleshooting, and how to ensure reliability through testing and monitoring. Additionally, we covered collaboration through flow sharing and introduced advanced features like "Record with Copilot" for desktop automation. These techniques empower users to streamline processes, save time, and enhance productivity.

The techniques you learned in this module offer significant advantage. By understanding triggers, you can automate repetitive tasks and respond to events seamlessly. Copilot simplifies flow creation and troubleshooting, making automation accessible even to nontechnical users. Testing and monitoring ensure robust and reliable workflows, while sharing flows fosters collaboration.

After completing this module, you're' now able to:

  • Identify and use Instant, Automated, and Scheduled triggers in Power Automate.
  • Create, modify, and troubleshoot cloud flows using Copilot’s natural language interface.
  • Build and test a cloud flow to automate tasks like fetching weather data and sending notifications.
  • Test and troubleshoot flows using tools like Flow checker and static result configurations.
  • Monitor and optimize cloud flows using analytics and process mining.
  • Share flows securely through coownership, run-only permissions, or by sending copies.
  • Use the Record with Copilot feature to create desktop flows by narrating and demonstrating tasks.
