PRODUCT OVERVIEW
What is Microsoft Power Automate?
Microsoft Power Automate is a cloud-based, low-code automation platform from Microsoft that helps organizations optimize business processes end to end. It combines digital process automation (DPA) for cloud apps and services with robotic process automation (RPA) for desktop apps and legacy systems, supporting both attended and unattended runs. Built-in AI features include Copilot for natural-language flow authoring, AI recommendations for optimization, AI processing of documents and images, and GPT-based content generation. Users can start from scratch, use prebuilt templates, or connect to more than 1,400 certified connectors, including Dynamics 365, SAP, and Salesforce. Task and process mining help uncover automation opportunities, while built-in security, governance, and monitoring support enterprise-scale orchestration. A 30-day free trial and paid per-user and per-bot plans are available.
