Power Automate is part of the Microsoft Power Platform and is a powerful tool to create automation flows for workflow processes. In this lesson, we cover the capabilities of the Power Automate service. You will learn how to identify common components such as flow types, connectors, conditions, expressions, and approvals.

You'll also learn how to build basic flows that can be started immediately with a button, based on an automated trigger, or on a set schedule. We'll explore how to update your flows and correct any issues that might interfere with your flow running successfully.

Furthermore, this lesson will help you in preparing for the Microsoft PL-900 certification for the Power Platform.
