Work through common business use cases to see how Power Apps and Power Automate - with their Copilot capabilities - fit into your toolset extending M365, SharePoint, Lists, and Teams and more.  
 
This intro workshop will cover platform basics, dig in with demos, and then let you "take the wheel" walking through hands-on examples to build a solution as we work through the day building on top of Microsoft Lists. 
 
Attend this workshop to get a foothold with the Power Platform. Gain the skills you'll need to immediately extend List capabilities and start customizing your Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Teams sites with Power Apps and Power Automate.

You'll learn about the different types of Flows that can be used with Power Automate and will create basic Flows yourself. Then, see how Flows integrate with Power Apps you've built and the list data behind them. Your instructors will be there to assist throughout the day with your questions. 
  
Notes and Requirements:
To participate in the hands-on portion of this workshop, attendees should bring a laptop computer. Attendees who bring tablets, even with keyboards, will likely experience difficulties in successfully completing the labs.
 
We will be using Power Apps, Power Automate, Microsoft Lists, Teams, SharePoint and other Microsoft 365 components in our labs. 
Attendees are encouraged to setup trial environments prior to attending. Instructions will be made available. 
 
If you will be using a company-provided laptop and will not be using your corporate tenant, please verify that you are able to connect to the Microsoft 365 environment that you will be using prior to arrival.


Power Apps and Power Automate (Flow) for M365/SharePoint Bootcamp

In every organization there are a number of scenarios which require an Approval process. It could be Contract approvals, PTO/Leave Approvals, Event approvals and many other business processes.

In this workshop we'll learn how to design and develop Multi-Stage Approval Workflows using Power Automate. The workflow will move back and forth b/w different stages and will also learn how to restart a workflow from a given stage. We'll learn how to include Dynamic Approvers in the workflow process.

We'll also learn how to design and develop Automated escalations and Automated reminders. We'll implement timeout features in the workflows to escalate it to the next approver in the process. We will learn how to log and retain workflow history beyond what Microsoft Power Automate offers out-of-box. We'll develop a button to kick off the workflow from a SharePoint library/list.

Power Automate Multi-Stage Approval Workflows - Workshop

The Microsoft Productivity cloud is used by more than 300 million users daily - and is the productivity platform of choice for most enterprises in the world. Microsoft Power Automate, part of the Microsoft Power Platform is a business process automation tool that allows you to streamline and automate business processes. In this session you will learn foundational knowledge of Microsoft Power Automate. First, you will learn the basic terms and concepts of Microsoft Power Automate. Next, you will discover how to create your own cloud flows. Finally, you will learn how to create workflows that integrate with Microsoft Teams.

Getting Started with Microsoft Power Automate

With all of the emails piling up in your inbox and Teams chats pinging left and right, it can be easy to miss that quick, "Hey, does this look good?" question from a colleague.  Using Microsoft Approvals can be a great way to have a concrete, separate place to collect those approvals.  In this session, Lindsay will share:
*How to build a variety of types of approvals in Power Automate
*How to view those approvals in Microsoft Teams
*Use cases for building processes around approvals

This session will enable audience members to build their own approval solutions, whether simple and straight-forward or complex and layered.
Products: Power Automate, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook

Seeking Your Approval: Using Approvals in Power Automate and Teams

Do you ever wonder what your Microsoft Team members are thinking or what their thoughts are on a specific topic or initiative? Microsoft Forms is a powerful and versatile tool that allows you to create surveys, quizzes, and polls that can be responded to by your Team members which allows you to view real-time responses from your participants. These results can then be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for additional analysis, and to generate some neat visual charts or graphs using Power BI.

In this session we are going to introduce and discuss the different types of uses for Forms, how to create a form on a Microsoft Teams channel, explore the configuration options for these forms, as well as how to export the results for use in other Microsoft products, like Power BI. 


Integrating Forms with Teams for Real-time Responses

Microsoft Forms is more than just a survey tool or a place to take a poll. Did you know that you can use the information captured in a Form and do awesome things with it? In this session, we'll explore the top 5 uses for partnering Power Automate to take Microsoft Forms to the next level!

In this session, you will gain:
 - Enhanced understanding on how Microsoft Forms and Power Automate can work together
- Use Templates in Power Automate to extend the capabilities of Microsoft Forms
- Real-World examples and best practices that can be applied to your own workflows

Join Shari and discover how to transform you data collection processes and unleash the potential of Forms with Power Automate!
