AUTOMATE WHERE YOU WORK WITH POWER AUTOMATE AND WINDOWS 11

Stephen Siciliano, Partner PM Director, Power Automate, April 5, 2022


Get started with automation in Windows 11 with Power Automate for desktop.

The way organizations work and collaborate has changed. Hybrid work is here to
stay and requires a more flexible environment to support a fully or partially
remote workplace. Microsoft is helping navigate this change by empowering IT
managers to make decisions about where and how their workforce operates. Windows
11 is designed for hybrid work, and this week Windows shared what is next for
Windows 11 and Windows 365.

To this end, we are excited that Microsoft Power Automate for desktop is part of
this journey with built-in desktop automation in Windows 11. Automation is key
to helping build a hybrid workplace and we are excited to share a few updates
that make it easier to get started with desktop automation in Windows 11.

Continue reading to see how you can automate reporting, convert files, and
manage workflows along with the latest updates in Power Automate.


AUTOMATE WITH THE TOOLS YOU USE EVERYDAY

Hundreds of thousands of organizations use automation every day to automate
routine tasks from their Windows desktop, such as reporting, data entry, and
scheduling. And because Power Automate is a low-code automation platform, it
makes it easy for developers and non-developers alike to automate the most
repetitive and mundane tasks.

Imagine the time you might save by automating daily, repetitive tasks such as
gathering information from the web, generating reports, emailing the files, or
transferring data between applications. Below are a couple of examples of how to
automate activities in Power Automate.


SAVE TIME TRACKING AND MANAGING CUSTOMER DETAILS

Managing large scale processes and syncing data across systems, such as customer
contacts, requires a lot of input such as mouse clicks, keyboard inputs, data
entry, and copying and pasting details into an older legacy system. See how you
can connect data across customer accounts from your CRM and save the data into
another application. Power Automate does the work for you so that you can get
work done more efficiently.




AUTOMATE AND COMPILE REPORTS MORE EFFICIENTLY

Are you tired of compiling multiple data points to create and email recurring
reports?  See how you can leverage desktop flows to compile various data sources
across different applications, combine everything into one report using Excel,
reformat your files, and schedule emails using cloud flows. You set the
schedule, Power Automate sends the reports more securely and with fewer errors.



AUTOMATE FILE CONVERSION AND STREAMLINE YOUR WORKDAY

Who does not want more time back in their day? Working across multiple file
formats and converting files eats up valuable time that you could spend on more
strategic work. Watch this short video to see how you can automate repetitive
tasks like launching Microsoft PowerPoint to convert presentations into a PDF
document. In addition, with a cloud flow you can automate sending updates via
email whenever the PowerPoint someone updates the file. Learn how to get started
and start being more productive.



CHECK OUT THE LATEST UPDATES IN POWER AUTOMATE FOR DESKTOP

We have seen tremendous growth with Power Automate since first announcing that
desktop automation is built-in with Windows 11. With this growth we have focused
on improving the overall experience and outlined below are a few highlights of
recent updates.

 * Manage desktop flows in real-time with ease: Managing and monitoring flows is
   cumbersome, and we recognize that customers need real-time visibility across
   attended desktop flows. Now, you can run a flow and get real-time runtime
   notifications about the execution of individual attended flows. This provides
   visibility across end-to-end desktop flow activity such as its status,
   current actions, the subflow execution, total runtime, and the ability to
   stop or pause the flows. Accomplish all this through the new pop-up
   notification window that provides great awareness of the flow’s activity. Run
   and monitor flows and get runtime notifications in real-time.
   * New ‘Display custom form’ action (Preview): ‘Display custom form’ is a new
     action in preview that enables users to create their own dialog (based on
     the Adaptive Cards technology). Combine the controls and elements of your
     choice into a single dialog window and display information or request input
     data for the automations.

   dialog.
   * New actions to convert a file to base64: There are two new actions
     available to convert a file into a base64 format, or the other way around.
     You can easily convert a file to Base64 string and facilitate file transfer
     over the internet with this new action.
