1. Learn Microsoft Power Automate Now: Hi, Welcome to the
Microsoft Power, Automate and learn the automation based. So you're starting out in
Microsoft Power Automate. This is perfect for you. What you will learn from this
course are to follow it. Automated, manual
tasks, templates, flow times, and connectors, real-world automation,
so much more. So what are you waiting for it? See you inside and let's learn Microsoft Power
Automate together.
2. Accessing Power Automate: Hi, This is Bryan
Hall and we will be discussing all about
Power Automate. So when we say Power Automate, it is a really cool
tool that allows you to integrate between multiple
applications or systems. And if you have like manual repetitive tasks that
you do over and over again, then this is perfect for you, so it will be able
to access this. We can just go straight
to Power Automate.com. Or you can also
go to office.com. Once you're inside Office, then you can just click
to Power Automate, as you can see over here. Once I'm inside, you can just go straight to Power Automate. If you do not have
an office accounts, then it's very easy
to sign up for it. And then once you're inside, you could also type in Power Automate.com and this
will open for you. So what we will do is the
approach we will be taking. We will work first with
existing templates in Power Automate so
that they can quickly see on what Power
Automate can do for you. You just get a glimpse of
the capabilities in sign. Then after that, we
will aim to recreate the automation from
scratch so that you can see how I go about
this step-by-step. And then we will jump over to a more sophisticated automation that will show you like, okay, this is from your imagination of what you can do with this tool, okay, so I hope you're
excited and then we'll jump straight to
our first template.
3. First Template Flow: Okay, So inside Power Automate right now what we aim to do is to just use a quick template that's provided by Microsoft. So templates pretty much there. The automation staff
have already been designed and created
by Microsoft. Then we could just reuse
them right away so that we can just run
them out of the box. For example, let's
say in our scenario, what we want to do is we want
to get an e-mail reminder that's sent straight to our
inbox on a daily basis. So let's say I keep on forgetting
to pull out the trash. So I want Microsoft or Power Automate to
just send it to my, let's say, Gmail account
so that I can read this. It can also be an
Outlook account as well. So pretty much any email
address that you want to use. So what I'll do right now is I'll jump straight to template. So don't worry about the different items over here to minutiae items over here. I'll be going through them later in the succeeding videos, so I'll jump straight
to templates. I just want to get
started quickly. Let's say, since we were
talking about reminders, I'll just type in reminder
over here and then let's see what options would be. Get over here. So for example, get Navy reminders from your
Outlook.com e-mail. David reminders in
e-mail as well. So there's pretty much quite a number of reminders
that you could use. Pretty much you can
also see what are the different applications
involved for the automation. So for example, over here
you could see outlook, the Outlook icon over here
it gets to your email icon, and then pretty much
Microsoft Teams. So there's quite a number
of their friends systems. But for now, okay,
for our purposes, we just want this get
daily reminder email, so I'll just select this. Okay, So what we will
see right now is a quick preview on what
this automation would do. So pretty much said a
reminder email every day. Okay. And then you can customize the email address
and the content. So depending on your needs. So okay, so what I'll do is
I'll just click Continue, and then let's see what's
gonna happen next. As part automated, we'll
be setting this up for us. So pretty straightforward. You could see that there are two steps inside our template. The first thing is
that's very important, is pretty much the trigger
off this automation. So you can see on
the first step over here it's treated
that every day. There's the interval of one day. So which means that this is running on a
schedule once a day. It's gonna run this automation
and then pretty much whatever steps are like
under the trigger, right? Then it's gonna be
executing those. So right now it's pretty
straightforward, right? We have a one day interval. So we want this automated emails sent to us on a daily basis. You can also click on Show
Advanced options as well. So let's say a specific
time and the time zone as well to make sure
that you have right time. Okay. Hours and minutes as well, you can just control
this right now, but for me, for the
purposes of this, I'm good with this one day. You can also change this
to launch week, okay? Even though Workday,
for example, you can set this on a
yearly basis, okay? You can't change this as well. There's a cost them value tooth. So really handy. And then the next step is pretty
much sending an e-mail. So there's pretty much
another customization that we could do aswell Because
templates pretty much they're not set in stone. So let's say not
happy with this one. I want to change this. I'll click Delete. All right, so let me delete this and I could just change
this to a new steps. So let's say I want an email to dissent out from
my Gmail account, so we can do that as well. That's the beauty
of Power Automate. You can just change, asks you see fit
because pretty much not everybody would have the
same e-mail provider, so we could just search, Let's
say I'll search for Gmail. You can find Gmail over here. And then once I select that, then what will be the action that you want Gmail
to do for you? So in our case, we want to send out an
automated e-mail reminder. So for example, I'll select
Send Email over here. And pretty much it's gonna be asking because I've already
set this up, right? So if I select the
three dots over here, you could see on the bottom
there's the connection. So normally if you do not have a gmail connection setup
in Power Automate yet, it's gonna be asking for an existing account
that you are using. Once you have set up, then it will appear
it's very easy. It's just pretty much
like signing in. Once you have everything set up, it's gonna show up as well
inside your mic on ships. So in my case, it's gonna be sending an email from this Gmail
address over here. So let's say I want to send
an email to my other account. So I'm happy with this. And then let's say
for the subject, Let's say trash, remind there. Okay. Then let's say on the
body I was just saying do not get pretty straightforward. Okay. You can even add
attachments as well over here. And then there's
quite a number of options like CSI or VCC. Write an essay, you can
even change the importance. Let's try it out as
high importance. So I'm just having fun
over here right now. And then once we have this completed, pretty
straightforward. So let's do a quick recap. Every day, once a day. Once this automation runs, it's gonna be sending an
email from my Gmail account. And then it's gonna
be sending it to my specific e-mail address, like taking out the trash, a reminder on a daily basis. So once we're happy with this, I'll click on save. And then let's work
on how we can test this out to see that
everything is working. So stay tuned for it.
4. Test run your first flow: Congratulations on creating
your first automation. So after saving this, what we will need to do
next is to test it out, like do some quick
testing to make sure that everything is
running as intended. So for us to be able to do that, you could just have
a quick look as well inside Flow checker over here. If I click on this, it's gonna give you a
quick summary of errors or warnings that you need to be aware off inside
your automation. But since we're good to go, everything is supreme over here. I'll jump straight
to the test section. So if I click on tests, what it is going
to do is it will allow us to do a manual tests, meaning that it's gonna be
running this Mann-Whitney. So there's no need
for us to wait for an entire day just to see
if this works or not. So automatically is
going to be the other, like you're just gonna
have it run as it is. But we want this to be
triggered manually so that we want the email
to be sent away. But before we do that, I'll just jump straight
to my Gmail account right now where we will be
sending the emails from. And you could see that inside the center section over here,
There's nothing inside. I'll jump straight over here. I'll take a test. And then there's the pretty
much quick description and I'll say Run, know, once we have this running, this has started to monitor it. You just go to the
low runs page, so I'll just jump straight to the low runs page over here. I've already done a
couple of fronts, so I just did a
quick test as well to make sure that
everything's working fine. But you could see the
most recent run that we have done right now with
the quick manual tests. And it has succeeded. So let's jump straight
to Gmail and then let's see if there's a send
email them there it is. There's these email over here. Take out the trash reminder. But the question right now is, the receiving email
isn't able to get it. So I'll just minimize this. And now we have jumped
to the receiving email. And you could see
over here, right? It got from our Gmail
account and you could see that take out the
trash or Monday. So it was sent out
by Power Automate, which is really cool. So you were able to test out your automation
successfully.
5. My Flows: So now that we're happy
with testing, okay, and we're sure that
with our first flow, everything is working fine. What I wanted to
show to you right now as this section over here, my photos to be able to get back to the flows that you
have created a while ago. Pretty much my Flows
which show all of the automations that you
have created so far. And it's pretty
straightforward to use. So let's say the one
that we did a while ago, I'll just click on this. And it's going to show
to me pretty much the description my
automation over here. So you could see when it's
created, what is the type, which I will be going in
detail on the different types. Then pretty much when it
comes to editing as well, you can just click on
Edit over it here. So if I click on this and it's gonna show the steps
inside my automation. And you could just quickly make changes and then click on Save. You can run the test again and the same low checker as well, even based comments over here. So once we're happy, I'll just go back over here. You can also edit the details, so I'll just click on the
Edit button over here. And you could just change the description
depending your needs. Then you can also act on it. Also changed the name over here. So let's say take the trash
email daily reminder. You can even change
the name over here. I'll click on Save and then this will be reflected as well. You can also see the run history over here so that if
you can see that, okay, I said running well, is it running on a daily basis? Everything is successful and
if there's errors as well, you can quickly check
and then diagnose or debug on what is going
wrong with your automation. And once you're happy, then August clip on all runs. And he could see everything
inside over here. And you can just
go back as well. On our automation. You can see all the
connections right now it's just one application
that we're working with, which is pretty much
our Gmail account. And then pretty much the
owner asks yours truly. Okay, So pretty much really straightforward on
the mindfulness, but this is going to be really handy when you have more
automations running so they can just quickly have a bird's eye view
if everything is running as expected or if there are any topics
that you need to do, you could just go straight
to my slopes over here.
6. Templates Overview: We will continue to explore the different sections that we have inside Power Automate. So after my flows, we will be discussing about the different
templates over here. So this is going
to be very useful because let's say you're like, you want to find different ways to save time or
automate your work. So this is pretty much the place where you can get
a lot of ideas, like fresh ideas that
has already been created by or used by a lot of people. Let's say just find ideas over here that could apply to
your scenario as well. So inside templates,
you can pretty much sorted by popularity or to
publish time or Bye a name. But for me, personal, like a personal choice of mine. I want to go for popularity because the more
people using it, which means that the
more people have benefited from this
specific automation. So for example, let's say I just want to
work with e-mail. So pretty much you can
type in email over here, or I can select pretty much the categories that are
listed out over here. So let's say I'll press email. So it's sort of over here. You can see that how many
people are using it, there's a lot of
people over here using the saving of email
attachments to your OneDrive. So for example, let's
say you don't want to manually save all of the
attachments one by one. So we could just use
this automation. Connect your Outlook e-mail and your OneDrive
account as well. All of the attachments
moving forward will be sent straight to your OneDrive
Like account as well. So greedy hand, then you can just jump over and
see if there's a lot more ideas that
you could just jump over here and I take them and you
stamp for your personal use. You could also see
that there's saving of female attachments
to Google Drive. So it's not just limited
to Microsoft applications, so you can just
explore that as well. Then once you're happy with
the different template, I say this specific template. If you click on it, then
it's gonna give you the specific description and also what applications
that would, that would be to set up over here to start using
this automation. Okay, so let me
just jump over back to templates and
then let's say we just want to work with Google
Drive and then see okay, what applications
nor automations would like we can reuse from
the tap dates over here. For example, there's Kip my schoolwork and sync
with my Google Drive. But let's click on this
just to have a quick idea. Gonna be sinking, doing synchronization between
OneDrive, google grams. So when a new file is
created in OneDrive, then create a copy inside
Google Drive as well. So it's like just
making sure that the tube storage that
you're using right now, they would be in sync
with each other. So really handy as well. So just play around
with templates. There's quite a number
of templates that you could use for your
day-to-day use. But have fun with this. You can use any of the templates that
they sent out over here, cost of mice then
because for example, let's say you were
not using Outlook, you're using a different system, but at least you have a
starting point on what people are using and then
use it for your baby.
7. Connectors Overview: Okay, so now let's jump
over to connect there. So Connectors pretty
much you could think of this as the different
applications that you can connect to and then create automations out of this. Okay, So pretty much connectors. You can see it's like
applications as well. And you can see
that there's Office 365 over here for Outlook. There's one drive officers, 65 users, SharePoint, Twitter, chat there, and notification. So there's a lot of
applications that let's just scroll down over here that wouldn't
be familiar to you. But you can also use them
as well, like Google Drive, There's FDP, There's file
system, There's Project Online. Years have been
GitHub and Slack, so proud of you. Dropbox. There's a lot that
I personally use as well. There's even the weather
that you can just use them and then
create automation. You can just integrate
them together. So pretty much the
possibilities are endless. It's just limited by
your imagination, but there's also
another limitation. You can see that there's
a number of them as well. So when we say premium
than this applications, would need you to
subscribe first and pay a monthly fee to be able to use them as well for
your automations. But the free ones, there's still quite a number of free connectors that you could use and just start automating. And then let's say your needs if they start to expand as well. And then some of
the applications you would need the premium once, then it's very easy to
just get a subscription. But for the examples that
we are working with, we are just using a free
subscription so you can just follow along and then
have fun with be swept. For D connected. Let's just say I want
to try out Excel. So I'll just select for the
XML connector over here. And then I'll just
select this one for the OneDrive for Excel Online. And what it will do is it
will pretty much filled. There are templates that are
related to Excel Online. So he could see there's quite
a number over here, dad, you could just play
around and it starts from here and then see which ones are popular and which ones would bring up the most
time savings for you. Then, once you are happy with this or let's say you wanted
a different connectors, you just go back to
connect their sober here. And let's say I want
to work with teams. Let's say I use Teams a lot and then I just want to get ideas. What can I do with
Microsoft Team automation? So I'll just select
this right now. Same thing it's gonna be furthering are showing
me pretty much the templates that are under
Microsoft Teams over here. You can see there's
the template over here and quite a number
of people are using it. And you can just explore as well the different actions that you could do with automations
for Microsoft Teams. So pretty much creating a cat. Let's say you have a
specific event that happens. We want to create the
chat automatically. You wanted to get messages, you want to create
meaning as well, or add a member to a team. So pretty much just explored the different connectors that power automate tasks over here. And it's the, what kind of automation is that
you can come up with?
8. Different Flow Types: Now let's talk about
the different types. So when we say
flow types, right, I'll show you a quick
overview over here. I'll just click on Create so that we are going to be
creating a new automation. Okay, So pretty much
nurse options over here. There's pretty much like
starting from scratch or starting from blank when it comes to grading
our automation. And what I want to focus on is pretty much this over here. The different types of flows
by the number over here, but pretty much the most widely used art
history over here. So you could think of it as everybody is the same
when it comes to automation because
it's pretty much just that of actions that
you want to do. But the difference is what
is the trigger or what is the event that would trigger this specific automation
to start its execution. So you could see like
over here there's the automated cloud flow and
there's a quick description. It's triggered by a
designated events. So for this one, this
is the first one. It's saying that Okay, when a specific event happens, then run this flow
automatically. So this is pretty handy
if you don't have like a specific time or a specific recurrence
that you want to happen. But it's not exactly a
random event, but you, you're after a specific event, let's say in Gmail, an email comes in, then you want this flow to run. So that's gonna be a
specific automated flow. So it's hence suite, which means that there's no
intervention from your end. You don't need to
trigger this manually. What Power Automate we
will do is it will just wait for this specific
event to happen. And then once it happens, it just runs automatically.
It's like magic. Then next one is
the instant flow. So as the description explains, is triggered manually asked, needed a specific flow to happen on demand
or as you see fit. And then this will
be perfect for you. And then the next one
is the scheduled flows. So you choose when and
how often it runs. So this is pretty much similar to what we did
a while ago when we created an automation that
sends emails on a daily basis. So this is the
schedule because we're running on a schedule,
it's predictable. Specify what specific schedule if you want your
automation to run. So you could think
of it like this, different options
depending on your needs because there's no better
blow type over here, but it really depends
on your needs. So what I'll do right now is
just click on one by one so that you can see that what are the different
potential triggers, Let's say for the automated
cloud flow, right? You could see some of the
triggers over here that say, let's just try it
on email in Gmail. When a new e-mail arrives, or let's say an outlook
when an email is flat, then run this automation. Let's say, let's try on TBS. What are the different types of automated
triggers that we can use when a new team
member is removed, then this automation
of the grunt. When I mentioned, Do you
want to send an e-mail or let's say what do
you what do you want to do or do you want to be
notified on their phone, then this would be
perfect for you. Like you can see the wording
over here when it happens, when this event happens. So that's the automated
flow over here. And there's quite a number of events that you can work with, so it's best for you to
try it out and then see on your specific application on the different types of events that you could
play around with. It skipped this. Let's go back again over here. Just moved back to the
for eight section. And for the incident, for the instant, pretty much for the triggering. It's
straightforward. So you could just do the
manual trigger in your phone. So it's a manual figure. So there's not like dependent
on automated figures, like the events that
we've seen a while ago. So let me just cancel that for a scheduled we've already
seen this from a long ago. Then you just specify a
specific schedule and specific time on the
repetition or the recurrence. And then we're going to be creating the different
actions that would happen after the
scheduled trigger. Okay. So you could just
repeat this like every hour or every minute. But It's a really handy way if your specific automation
is very predictable and you need to run this
on a regular basis. So that's pretty much it for
the different blood types. And then we will be eating
our own flow from scratch. We will be recreating
that activity that what we have done from our template will create
it from scratch so that you have experienced now with working with
Power Automate.
9. Create a Flow from Scratch: So now let's recreate
this flow from scratch. So pretty much a quick recap. What's going to happen, SP1, this to be sent out on a
daily basis once a day, write an automated
e-mail reminder to us to take out the trash. So let's say we want
to start it out. So first things first, what type of low mood we need? So since we want this to
happen on a daily basis, on a predictable schedules, so we would use the
scheduled flow. So once I select this, okay, let's say this is our take
out the trash email reminder, NSA, this is from scratch. We're not using a template, but we want to create
this right now. Now run this flow. Let's say this one. We want this to happen
once a day, right? So we're gonna be setting us as repeat one day, every one day. Okay, Now let's go for
Create and then let's see what we are working with. So you can see over here, right, there's the
recurrence over here. It runs every day. You just added this as well over here for the
parabolic in case, let's say you want to
make changes as well. You can also click
on this button over here and then click on Rename. And then let's say
you could just give it more descriptive
name that say this is going to be run
on a daily basis. Okay? So I'll click Enter,
press enter over here. Then what will be our next step? So our next step right
now is pretty much as sending an e-mail
out as a reminder. So let's go for Gmail
over here. Pretty much. What we're doing right
now is similar to the steps from a
while ago, okay, So it's really straightforward
to just select a connector over here and then wanted to
be one to happen, let's say Send Email over
here and we will be typing in this similar details that what we have done a
lot of good over here. Okay, so now this is take
the trash builds, be lazy. Okay, so fairly straightforward
and we're here. Once we have this setup, I'll just click on save and then let's see if
there's going to be errors from our automation. So your flow is ready to go. Let's have a quick look
at the flow checker. And our next step right now
is to just run a quick test so that we're sure that our
automation is now complete.
10. Test run your new flow: Okay, so now let's
do a quick test and then if see what's
gonna happen next, I'll just click on
tests right now. I just want a quick manual
tests that can test same, same steps as what
we did a while ago. I'll click on Run flow and
let us see. Now it's running. Let's go to the
flow runs page and, and see if it's able to
execute successfully. Now, we can see that
it has succeeded. No issues here. I'll just go to my flows
aswell and then you could see that this is our new flow that we have created
from scratch. If I click on that, it's just gonna go straight to the detailed page or to
flow page over here. And you could see as
well our run history. Now let's jump over to Gmail
and then let's see if it's able to send out our email. If I take on center, you can see this one. Don't be lazy. It's able to send it
out automatically, like hands-free as well
because of Power, Automate.
11. Book Order Tracker Automation - Introduction: Now let's work with a more complicated
example so that you can see that this is where Power Automate really
starts to shine. And we will be working
on this from scratch. So I hope that you could
follow along as well. So let's say, for example, let's say I run a
book, this, It's okay. A bookstore business
where it's still pretty old-fashioned when it comes
to how I fulfill orders. So what I do right now, Let's say I just received an email via my e-mail
inbox over here. So you can see that,
okay, I want this book. This is the quantity and
then this is my costumer. And pretty much that time. And the date the
swelled off the artery. And then what I do is I already have a OneDrive
account over here, and I have my Excel spreadsheet. And this is pretty much
the order tracker that I manually copy the
details from the email. So I'll just copy over
here, right-click and copy. Then I'll type a and b
details manually over here. So pretty old fashion. I know this is how I work, where I operate my business,
my bookstore business. So let's say I'm typing in
the email address right now. And the daytime GSSAC, to say it's a PM, I can't remember the
time, but let's say this is the time off the order. Okay. So it's a really
convoluted process because pretty much every
e-mail coming in, right. I need to check this, and then I need to copy this, get all of the details, and then jump over
to this spreadsheet. And let's say another
person would be looking at a spreadsheet
and we'll start packing the orders
and sending it out and then updating
the status as well. Let's say this one is
in progress right now. And then it's gonna be the same thing that I
need to do manually with every email coming
into my inbox and then it's prone to
human error as well. Let's say, I've already said
this section over here. That's gonna be a human
error on my part. So this is where Power Automate comes in because what
we want to do is to automatically log all of the orders that comes
in over here, right? And then it's gonna
be like filling up this able insight in
my OneDrive account. So that's really handy because Power Automate
escapable to do this. So a couple of assumptions. First is that our orders would always have the subject
name off book orders. So this is going to be the criteria that Power
Automate will work with when it sees an email coming into my inbox with
the subject of book order, and that's when the
automation will kick in. So okay. So with that assumption, we will start right away
when it comes to creating, how're you automation
from scratch?
12. Book Order Tracker Automation: This is the part
that we start to have real fun because
we are going to be creating our low
from scratch for tracking the book orders
for our bookstore. So what I'll do is I'll
go straight to create. So before we start
creating the flow, one thing that I
want to take note of is we will be working
with Outlook.com. So this is our e-mail that we will be checking
the inbox or orders, right? And then pretty much we
will be saving all of the content inside our Excel
spreadsheet over here, so forth, Power Automate to be able to work with
our spreadsheet, we need to make sure that this
is formative asset table. So I'll just select on
any data over here, I'll go to insert, and I'll select table over here. Now, my table has
headers I will click on, Okay, and this is now
converted to a table. I'll jump over to
Table Design and give this table a more
descriptive name. Let's say this is our book
order table over here, press Enter, and now we
have our spreadsheet setup. Now I'll jump over to flow. And if you think about it, what will be our trigger? So our trigger is when a new
mail comes inside Outlook, our Outlook e-mail address, then that's when the flow or the automation will
start execution. This is going to be an automated cloud flow
because we want to wait for the event that a new male has come in and it will
run every single time. So this is
unpredictable in a way because you really
don't know when the next meal is coming in. But the automated cloud Flo would be perfect
for this purpose. So I'll select this right now. Then pretty much
for the triggers. So let's say you email
or new male, let's say, and let's look for the outlook
for this specific action. So this is perfect. I'll click dot-com, right? Because that's our
ETL right now. I'll select this when a
new e-mail arrives, right? And this is the perfect
triggered that after. Now, let's say, let's give this flow name a more
descriptive name. That's a book order cracker. Now, we're happy with
this. I'll click Create. We will now start to
formulate our automation. But we have this
right now, right? I already have the
connection setup, so you could just have a look
as well as the connections. This is pretty much the
Outlook e-mail address that I'm using right now. In your case as well. It's just going to ask
for the login details, so just make sure
you're logged in and it's fairly
straightforward to set up. Now, we're gonna be
looking inside the inbox. So it's gonna be
monitoring the inbox for any new e-mail message
that's gonna be coming in. But what do we want to do? I'll click on the
Advanced Options. You can also ensure that sent to a specific
e-mail address. It's it's a promise specific
e-mail address as well. You can make sure that
there are specific like filtering conditions because
you don't want it to process every single e-mail that's coming into your inbox. But in our case, our assumption is that all of the
emails coming in from our costumers would have the subject header
of book ordered. So what I'll do right now
is for Subject filter, I'll type in gulp it up
to make sure that this is the only email that's going to be processed
by the automation. Okay, so once we're
happy with this, Let's go for new stat. And then one technical aspect
when it comes to e-mail us if it's formatted as HTML. So we still need to
convert this from HTML to tech, right, so that we can save this
inside our spreadsheet. So what I'll do
right now is I'll just look for it
on Invert, right? Because we want to
convert the content of our email from HTML to texts so that it's
going to be cleaner. Now the cool thing over here, when it comes to say, okay, what do you want to convert? And it's gonna be showing the dynamic content
selection over here, right? And you could see that this is when a new e-mail arrives and we will select the
body of the message. So what we're saying right
now to the automation, the body or the e-mail contents
of that specific message, and then convert that to
texts so that we can use that when it comes to saving inside
our spreadsheet over here. Okay, once we're
happy with this, let's go for next step as well, because what we want to
happen next is okay, we have our email, okay, and then we have the
body of the email is spelled correctly formatted. And we want to save
this right now, two hours spreadsheet in Excel. So I'll type in Excel over here. And then what we're
using right now is Excel Online for one, right? So I'll select that. And then what do we want to do? We want to add a
row into the table. So I'll select that as well. Very easy. Okay, and then now we want to specify which spreadsheet
are we editing right now, what do we want to like? Where do we want to
add the new row two? So I'll select that
as well to concede, this is the bookstore
order tracker that we have inside OneDrive, so I'll jump straight
to OneDrive. You could see this as well. The bookstore order tracker
that have already created. This is the one that we have
been using from a while ago. So jump back to
automate the slackness. Okay, Then what
is the table that we will be using inside
the spreadsheet? Because Power Automate will need this so that it will know that. Okay, which specific section of your specialty food I need to
update the details inside. Okay, So we already had this,
right, if you remember, this is the book
art a table that we have set for our table
from a while ago. If I go to Table Design, this is the name of our
table, book. Table. So power Automate is smart enough to read the contents
as well up the spreadsheet. And we can just
select this as well. Now, once I have book
order table to select it, it will now load the different fields
as well off our table. So you can see that it
took quite a while, a couple of seconds, but it was able to read the different header
fields that we have. Customer order time
details of status, so costumer art or time
details and the status. So now we can start
filling in the details. So for example,
for the costumer, we want the email address
to be saved over here. Now if I scroll over here
to cool thing is it's able to get the data from
our email as well. From the e-mail. We want to get the from e-mail
address over here. So I'll select this. You can see over here. And then for the order time, we can just simply get the order time from
the date or the time as well that the email
has been sent to our inputs. So I'll just scroll
down as well and you would see the receive
time over here. Okay, I'll select that. Really afraid forward because
now you could see the, the power behind power Automate is pretty much the different
applications, right? You're able to get bits and
pieces from the information, from the Outlook message
to email message dry, and then just put it straight inside the Excel spreadsheet. Now afforded details. What we want to
happen is just get the e-mail contents over here
and then paste it in time. The details over here. We already have that
converted from a while ago. That's the HTML two
texts which we have gotten from the body of the
email that we have received. So I'll select that. And that's pretty much
the texts that's gonna be saved over here. Or status. Let's say our default status is unprocessed or in progress. It really depends. But let's say in our case, just want it to save it asked unprocessed over
here, just a text. Okay, so once we're happy, pretty much we have
the entire automation all setup over here. I'll just click save. And then let's do
a quick test and then see what's gonna
happen right now. Okay, your flow is
ready to go, okay, and that's checked for the
Flow checker over here. No errors or warnings. Looks good. Now what I'll do is let's
just go to tests aren't. Let's just go back
to our main screen over here and see what we have. Now we have our notification in your flow is ready to
go and it's turned on, meaning that any
emails coming into our Outlook e-mail address
will get process, right? And then SC, what's
going to happen? So happy with this. I already have a quick
email message set up over here that's gonna be sent to
our Outlook e-mail address. This is a subject header,
okay, we'll order. And then this is pretty
much 101 textbook. And they want an order
of cows and books. I'll click Send and let's see
what's gonna happen next. So right now what I
have is for inside our flow and then let's
go for all the runs and then see if it's able to receive the e-mail and at the same
time be able to process it. Okay. So you could
see it right now, right inside our run history, it was able to see it if
I jump over to my inbox, you could also see
the e-mail over here. You can see the Order of the one-to-one textbook and
italics on quantity as well. Now, this is the
moment of truth. If we jump over to Excel, would we see the contents
of the e-mail over here? So if I jump over here, you could see the email address. Let me just expand this a bit. The cima of address is
listed out the time. It's a swell show over here. Okay. And then we have our
details as well that we have gotten from the body of the email,
which is perfect. Everything is done automatically
by Power Automate. And you could see
the status as well show over here *** on process. This is really
cool because right now what you can do is
There's no way for you to monitor your inbox anymore for the manual
copying of contents. Because right now
Power Automate. You'll now do this for
you automatically. And you can just
monitor the run to swell if there's any issue, like showing up
over here or not. Then if you need to make
changes to just go for edit. And if, let's say you don't need this automation to run for now, then you could just
turn it off and then turn it on again as needed. So I hope you had fun
with Power Automate, and just have fun with the
different applications asked the possibilities
are endless for this.
