Power Automate fills a vital gap where teams can develop various workflows between systems that our technology team hasn't integrated, and we need automation. This is most useful with HR and L&D processes such as onboarding, induction, and employee exit. It helps us automate repetitive tasks, like updating a database of employee records, sending data to webhooks based on a set trigger, moving data from one system to another, and automating enrolment actions in our LEARN365, our LMS platform. Power Automate stands out for its ability to integrate with multiple systems, close gaps in our existing technology configuration, and give more flexibility to people's data.

We use Microsoft Flow to automate internal processes such as material purchase approval flow, document file upload, customer data collection, technical teams communication when new documents are published in the file repository, and recently the integration between our chatbot to support technical and commercial teams, implementing in the bot the sending of emails with attachments and password validation by 2FA. All these automation have been integrated with Office365 products: Sharepoint, Microsoft Forms, Outlook 365, Office 365 Users, and Microsoft Teams. Activity flows utilize various integration components such as HTTP webhook, Egnyte, Office 365 user, and groups search. As a result, we reduced the time spent on internal processes, with email exchanges and billing between teams, improved the dissemination of important documents, and expanded the resources and services available to our internal users.
