Power Automate cloud flows

Automate everyday office work.

๐Ÿ“– Key ideas

  1. A cloud flow has a trigger and actions, like "when an email arrives, save the attachment to OneDrive".
  2. Triggers can be automated (an event), instant (a button) or scheduled.
  3. Connectors link to Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Excel, forms and many web services.
  4. Conditions, loops and approvals add logic.
  5. Run history shows each run and where it failed.
๐Ÿ’ก Real-life example: Like a helpful office assistant who follows the same steps every time something happens, without forgetting.
