Requirements

This course goes through all of the skills required for the Microsoft Applied Skills: Create and manage automated processes by using Power Automate

Microsoft Power Automate allows you to create flows to automate your business processes. You can record information, send emails and ask for approval based on a schedule, or when the need arises

In this 2 hour course we’ll cover the skills that you need for the Microsoft Applied Skills credential for Power Automate.

The tasks that you need to perform to get this skill are:

  • Create triggers. This activates the flow, and there are three main triggers – automated, instant and scheduled.
  • Create and configure actions for notifications. Actions are what happens during the flow. You can read and write data, and send emails and mobile notifications.
  • Implement conditional logic. We’ll look at the Switch action, which compares two values together, and the Condition action, which is more versatile.
  • Create and configure approvals. This allows someone to look at the information generated in the flow, and approve or reject the request.
  • Configure owners and sharing. We’ll look at the difference between owners and run-only users.

We’ll go through several practical examples, so you can see how you can create your own flows

By the end of the course, you’ll be much more confident about using Power Automate and perhaps even take the official Microsoft assessment. That would look great on your CV or resume.
