Let's explore how to automate certain processes using Power Automate.

00:00:11

In this example,

00:00:12

we'll use Power Automate to automatically send an email to a designated person

00:00:17

whenever a new item is added to the list.

00:00:20

This makes it much easier to track content updates.

00:00:24

Start by clicking on integrate,

00:00:26

then select Power Automate

00:00:28

and choose the option to create a flow.

00:00:31

This menu also allows you to view previously created flows if needed.

00:00:36

You won't have to start from scratch.

00:00:38

The tool already offers several predefined flow

00:00:41

templates that may suit your needs.

00:00:44

For this demonstration,

00:00:45

we'll select the first available template.

00:00:48

You will then be redirected to the Power Automate interface

00:00:52

where you'll need to confirm connections to the relevant applications.

00:00:56

Once completed,

00:00:58

you can fill in the details of the flow based on your specific use case.

00:01:02

In our case,

00:01:03

we'll leave the default example,

00:01:05

but it's highly recommended to customize it to match your situation.

00:01:11

Once the flow is validated,

00:01:13

test it by adding a new item to your list.

00:01:16

You should receive an automatic email containing the specified content,

00:01:21

confirming that the flow is working as intended.

00:01:25

If your list includes a date column,

00:01:27

such as a departure date,

00:01:29

you can also create a reminder using the automation menu,

00:01:34

then selecting an appropriate flow template.

00:01:37

Take time to assess your needs and explore the application's full potential.

00:01:42

You may discover new ways to simplify and streamline repetitive manual processes.
