*REPEAT SESSION
Power Automate was built for exactly the kind of work executive administrators do every day. In this hands-on lab, you’ll get your first real look at Power Automate and walk away having actually built one flow from scratch. No prior experience is needed and no coding is required.
We’ll start by breaking down how Power Automate thinks, so the logic behind every flow makes sense before you build anything. From there, you’ll learn how to set up a simple approval flow that routes requests to the right person and notifies everyone when a decision is made, and a scheduled reminder flow that automatically sends messages through Outlook or Teams so nothing falls through the cracks.
Every concept is grounded in real executive office scenarios, so what you build in this session is something you can take back and use on Monday.
What You’ll Do in This Lab:
Through hands-on building exercises, you’ll construct a simple approval flow and a scheduled reminder flow from scratch. You’ll work with real scenarios from the executive office, practicing how to structure triggers, conditions, and actions so automation becomes repeatable and reliable.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand how Power Automate flows are structured (triggers, conditions, and actions) and why that structure makes automation repeatable and reliable
- Build a simple approval flow that routes requests to the right person without you having to chase anyone down manually
- Leave with the flow you built yourself, so you have a starting point to adapt and expand as you identify more opportunities in your day-to-day work
