That’s the sappy story how I met Power Automate. It’s dragging us right back to several months ago, when we had to implement the small MVP project as soon as possible and the first time I met this magnificent tool.

What’s Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow)?

In general, that’s the tool that helps to take repetitive tasks or even business processes and transform them from manual, time-consuming work to efficient automated workflows.

It might sound intimidating, but in reality, it looks like this:

An example of flow (Power Automate)

So, when a new email mentioning the user arrives, PA gets the profiles of the user and a person who mentioned they in the email. Afterwards, it sends the message to the user and notifies him about the email.

Here we should underline basic terms of PA. The workflow starts by a trigger (in this particular case, it’s an email in Outlook) and then the whole processing is done by actions (getting profiles and posting the message to a chat in MS Teams).
