Study Notes
Power Automate Flows and Templates
- Power Automate is a tool for creating flows (automated processes) that connect various Microsoft and third-party apps.
- It's designed for both expert and novice users (citizen developers).
- Templates simplify flow creation.
- Templates use pre-built combinations of connectors (app integrations).
Flow Template Use Cases
- Templates automate common business tasks across multiple apps/services.
- Template tiles display summary info (tasks, author, trigger type, connectors used).
- Templates handle complex tasks—for example, notifying via Outlook when a quiz is completed using Microsoft Forms.
- Templates can trigger multiple actions in response to a single event. (e.g., a quiz completion triggers notification and stores the response in SharePoint).
Flow Template Customization
- Templates provide a starting point; details (e.g., form name, email content) need user input.
- Users can modify existing templates or create new flows from scratch.
- Users extend templates using the "Add an action" and "New step" options to add more actions.
