Does anyone know if there is a flow that can be created in Power Automate as a text expander? For example - if i use my keyboard in any application (ServiceNow, Google Search, Microsoft word, Microsoft Outlook etc.) to type the characters ..nfn that is will automatically expand this text to 'No further needs.'

I have many phrases that I type repeatedly each day and I am trying to find a way to save time in my typing!

    That would be agonizingly slow to do in a RPA tool.  Use dedicated utilities like AutoHotKey or similar

    Unfortunately my organization does not have any AutoText applications like AutoHot Key that are approved for safe use. Creating something in Power Automate is my only option 😞
