What is Power Automate?

Microsoft's Power Automate (Previously Flow) is a relatively new app offered as part of the Office 365 suite. It is also included in most of the Office 365 subscriptions and you can check if you have it by clicking on the App launcher from your office 365 Tenancy. Power Automate allows you to "Automate" business processes by building business processes based on Triggers, Conditions and Actions whilst using Data Connections from the likes of SharePoint, SQL, Salesforce and more.

Is this the end of SharePoint Designer Workflows

It’s a good question and hopefully Power Automate will one day remove the need to use SharePoint Designer Workflows but at the time of writing this section there is still some functionality that we do not get with Power Automate. These include Global and Reusable Workflows which are only currently available in SharePoint Designer. So, it’s not time yet to give up on SharePoint Designer but with 14/07/2026 set as the support end date it won’t be around forever and with the Powers Automate has to offer we would encourage all our Office 365 clients to strongly consider using this now as a replacement.

Triggers, Actions and Conditions

Unlike the days of SharePoint Designer where we didn’t have much flexibility in the way of connected our Data Processes across all of Business Data inside and outside of SharePoint. Microsoft's Power Automate is revolutionized the way we can connect to our data. We can now create multiple different data connections, so not only will we connect to one SharePoint site but it can pull data from anywhere in your tenant including SQL, Microsoft Forms, Outlook, OneDrive, Salesforce and ACT to name but a few. You can then use various conditions to control the process itself by having Switch Cases, Do Until, Scopes and then the classic If Conditions that give you the flexibility you need. During our course we will show you all the key building blocks required to building your own business processes using Power Automate.
