Hi Team,
I am developing a Bot using power automate. 

Regarding sending bday wish mail for employee.

 

Now i am reading employee data from excel and filtering it with current date.

 

so let me know which should be good approach to read employee data?

1- Maintain Excel file for emp data OR

2- Maintain SharePoint for emp Data

 

I am thinking that excel would be good to maintain and read emp data.

 

Your valuable suggestion will be appreciated, and will help me to choose better way.

    If you are developing a flow using power automate desktop - I would prefer use excel approach as its more stable for desktop flows compare to go with some sharepoint connectors else If you create a flow in cloud then i would prefer to go with SharePoint list.
