Microsoft Power Automate
Streamline tasks and paperless processes with Microsoft Power Automate
Microsoft Power Automate is a tool that helps users create workflows between desired applications to synchronize files, get notifications, and collect data. This intelligent, cloud-based solution uses triggers and actions to create chain reactions within a workflow so that repetitive, manual, time-consuming tasks are accomplished without human intervention. Here are some features of the Power Automate platform:
Button flows: Run repetitive tasks while being mobile
Automated workflows: Perform tasks without hesitation
Scheduled flows: Trigger processes on a schedule
Business process flows: A streamlined process with guidance and security
User interface flows: Automate repetitive tasks using interface actions (involves robotic process automation)
Microsoft + Softmotive for low-code RPA solutions
Softmotive, a global provider of a robotic process automation(RPA) technology, was acquired by Microsoft in May 2020. By pairing the desktop automation capabilities of Softmotive with the Power Automate platform, automation adopters can jump-start their initiatives to streamline their repetitive processes. Here’s how it works:
Through RPA, automation triggers are enabled in the platform through a capability called UI Flows. Through UI Flows, UI-based automation capabilities are conjoined with the Power Automate platform (both in the cloud and on premise) to help users streamline repetitive, rule-based tasks within their processes. Step by step actions, such as mouse clicks, data entry and keyboard use, can be further processed into intelligent data through platform recording for further use.
Smartbridge and Power Platform Solutions
Citizen integrators and IT decision makers are the main audiences suitable for Power Automate usage. Smartbridge can help these users quickly identify areas in their business processes that are candidates for automation. Further, because Microsoft Power Automate is an advanced integration tool, it can be connected to over 100 out-of-the-box data sources such as Google Sheets, Twitter, Dynamics 365, SharePoint, Salesforce, and OneDrive.
Smartbridge has a variety of breadth within Microsoft Power Platform solutions such as Power BI, Power Apps, and Microsoft Power Automate.
