How do I start

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello,

 

I am a new Power Automate user and would like to automate certain workflows and approval workflows in my projects.

I have a very general idea of what I could do but lack the specific details and knowledge to start.

 

Here are some of the things I'm looking to automate:

1. Automatic Forwarding of emails based on substring in email title and presence of attachment

2. Downloading attachments from emails and saving them in paths based on email title

3. Adding a row to an excel log during the process

 

Another would be about receiving approvals on documents and adding the status to the log file.

 

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks

    Greetings,

    How to start depends on your comfort level. You can ease yourself in or jump right into the water.

     

    Microsoft has great documentation and there are many resources to get you started. 

    [1] Go through Power Automate documentation

    [2] Go to flow.microsoft.com and sign-up/sign-in

    [3] Attempt the guided learning 

    [4] Begin searching the existing templates and explore adding customizations that meet your needs.

    [5] Need additional help/suppose? Just ask! Post in the Forum.
