Course Summary

Power Automate is a no-code or low-code tool, allowing any user to design and create their own solutions and improve the way they work without the need for high-level technical skills.

In this course, students will learn the basics of working with cloud flows in Power Automate. Flows will be created from templates and from scratch, enabling participants to become familiar with basic components of flows, the different connectors, triggers and actions available and how to combine them to develop useful solutions.

Students will learn to navigate the Power Automate environment, basic administration of flows and how to share flows in various ways to collaborate on flow development or share functionality.

On completion of this course you will know how to:

• Navigate Power Automate
• Create basic flows
• Handle basic administration of flows
• Share flows in various ways
• Collaborate on flows with their team

Duration : 2 Days
