Dynamics 365: Working with Power Platform Automation
Streamline your business processes using automation
Bringing automation to your business processes benefits both employees and the wider organisation.
You can increase productivity among employees by automating repetitive tasks. This allows the user to focus on other goals that will help with business objectives. Automation can also help with consistency. Often, when employees perform the same task over and over again, they could take shortcuts or make errors. With automation, you can help ensure consistency.
This three-week course will teach you how to use automation within the Power Platform and how you can use different tools to increase the efficiency of your business processes.

Build automations using Microsoft Flow
