How to connect to data?

Posted on by 9

Hi guys,

 

I'm really new to power automate and i would like to create a flow to send periodically an excel file by mail.

We have a business server but i have no idea wich connector i should use to connect to data, because i have no idea of what business server my company uses.

Any idea ?

Thanks guys

    Hey mate @Le_psi 

     

    If the data is on a server then you will need to ask your admin to setup the File System connector - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/filesystem/

     

    You can then create a scheduled Power Automate to send an email periodically. 

     

    As you mentioned you are new to Power Automate its best to start with a tutorial https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/getting-started

    Thanks for your answer,

    I said server but i have no idea where data is, server or cloud.

    I've asked, i'm waiting for the response.

    I thought there would have been a way for power automate to autodetect and tell me 😋
