Ever caught yourself copying form responses into an email, chasing someone down for a sign-off, or moving the same files around by hand for the hundredth time? Power Automate can take that work off your plate, and you don't need to be a developer to make it happen.

This session is built for absolute beginners. Bring a laptop and build your first flow alongside me, live. We'll go from a blank canvas to a working automation that catches a Microsoft Forms response, pulls in the details you need, sends a polished email, and routes the request for approval. Along the way, you'll learn what every flow is made of (triggers, actions, and connectors) and when to choose an automated, instant, or scheduled flow. You'll also see how to take a ready-made template and make it your own. We'll demystify dynamic content, variables, and expressions, and I'll show you how to let AI write the tricky expressions for you. Finally, we'll cover the best practices that keep your flows from falling apart the moment you go on vacation.

You'll leave with a flow you built yourself, practice exercises to keep going, and the confidence to automate your next annoying task on Monday morning.

I've delivered an hour-long version of this that was hands-on at my company. Additional sections that can be added on from the original training include Approvals and how to modify templates to make them work within DLP policies.
