Microsoft Power Automate

Powerful automation for predictable processes

We use Microsoft Power Automate to help our clients benefit from lightweight automation, making repetitive business processes, data flows and workflows more efficient so that end-users can spend less time on low-value manual tasks.

Low-code automation

Microsoft Power Automate is a powerful low-code tool within the Microsoft Power Platform designed to automate business processes and seamlessly connect different systems. It enables organisations to automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and enhance productivity by connecting various applications, data and services.

This includes cloud flows, where tasks and processes run in the cloud, or tasks on web apps and local machines, known as desktop flows or robotic process automation.

How we can help

Power Platform experts

Our Microsoft Power Platform consultants are experts in identifying opportunities to introduce automation when working with technologies such as SharePoint Online, Dynamics 365 and the Dataverse.

Where we identify repeatable processes or the predictable movement of data between systems, Power Automate often enables us to create an automated solution that saves time, effort and increases productivity for end-users.

Benefits of Microsoft Power Automate

Power Automate helps organisations avoid paying for traditional development and full custom coding. Its low-code functionality accelerates the development of data processes for Power Platform developers, making this type of development faster, less expensive and more future proof.

Boost productivity

Automate repetitive manual tasks, enabling employees to focus on higher-value activities and be more productive.

Streamline data flows

Introduce automation wherever you have predictable and repeatable movement of information and data, passing data between systems without manual effort.

Automate approvals

Develop custom workflows for approval processes, using triggers to run automated actions that make approving requests or information fast and efficient.

Integrate systems

Connect thousands of applications and services, ensure seamless data flow across systems, and benefit from native integrations with your Microsoft technology, from the Dataverse and SharePoint Lists, to Microsoft Forms and more.

Low-code automation

Power Automate’s low-code functionality enables Power Platform power users and developers to create automations without extensive coding, saving time and resources.

Replace legacy processes

Power Automate is the natural replacement for legacy native SharePoint workflows due to deprecation, and provides an alternative to the Dataverse process engine.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • What is Power Automate?

    Microsoft Power Automate is part of the Microsoft Power Platform and is a tool designed to automate business processes by connecting different systems and applications. It is user-centric and allows for the creation of workflows to streamline tasks and data flows and improve efficiency.

  • Who is Power Automate for?

    Whilst Power Automate is intended to be accessible for end-users and citizen developers without extensive coding knowledge, the power of the tool is best utilised by Power Platform developers or highly skilled power users. This is because an understanding of the technical architecture and error handling is often required to prevent unintended consequences in production environments.

  • How does Power Automate differ from Azure Logic Apps

    While both tools serve similar purposes, Azure Logic Apps is more robust and infrastructure-oriented, whereas Power Automate is targeted at end users and individual users for lightweight automation.

  • What are the limitations of Power Automate?

    Power Automate is best suited for lightweight data processes and may struggle with full system integrations or highly complex workflows.
