Kursbeskrivning
Stop doing the same boring tasks every day. Power Automate connects Microsoft 365 tools - Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Approvals and more - so your busywork runs itself. This hands-on course takes you from beginner to production-ready cloud flows.
Start with Cloud Flows and the Maker Portal
Find your way around the Power Automate portal, learn the three cloud flow types (Instant, Automated, Scheduled), and build your very first flow from scratch. A brief intro to Copilot shows how AI can draft flows in plain English.Connect to the World with Microsoft 365
Move beyond manual flows by connecting to real services. Work with the Outlook, SharePoint, and Teams connectors, master dynamic content tokens, and write expressions like concat(), formatDateTime(), and coalesce() to shape data between steps.Add Logic and Intelligence
Make your flows smarter. Store values with variables and Compose, branch with conditions and Switch, loop through arrays with Apply to Each, transform data with Filter Array and Select, and schedule flows to run on their own.Build, Monitor, and Share Production-Ready Flows
The final chapter brings it all together with an end-to-end approval flow. You'll test with Flow Checker, read run history to diagnose failures, share flows responsibly, and apply a responsible-use checklist to anything Copilot generates. You'll finish ready to automate with confidence.Förkunskapskrav

Getting Started
Discover what Power Automate is, where it fits in the Microsoft Power Platform, and which of the three cloud flow types - Instant, Automated, or Scheduled - matches a given task. Get oriented in the maker portal, then build your very first flow from scratch and watch Copilot generate the same flow from a plain-English prompt.

Connecting to the World
Bring your flows to life by plugging into real Microsoft 365 services. Learn how connectors expose triggers and actions, choose between polling and webhook triggers, then upgrade a hardcoded email into a dynamic one using expressions like concat() and formatDateTime(). Finish by safely auditing a template and editing a flow in plain English with Copilot.
3
Adding Logic and Intelligence
Make your flows think for themselves. Store and update values with variables and Compose, branch with Condition and Switch, loop over arrays with Apply to Each, and shape data with Filter Array, Join, and Select. Then put it all on a timer with Recurrence and match Automated triggers to the inbound events that fire them.
4
Putting It All Together
Wrap up by building a complete approval flow that pauses for a human decision, then learn to test it with Flow Checker, read run history to diagnose failures, and add a Configure run-after safety net. Finish by sharing flows correctly across three modes and applying a responsible-use checklist to anything Copilot generates for you.
