The Power Automate training gives you the basics to automate business processes without writing a single line of code. Over a full day, you discover automated flows, triggers, actions and the Microsoft 365 connectors that turn repetitive tasks into automations that run by themselves. A highly valued skill for business profiles in French speaking Switzerland.
Automate your processes without depending on the IT department
In daily business life in Switzerland, many processes still rely on repetitive manual manipulations: copying an email to an Excel sheet, triggering a notification when a file arrives, sending an approval to multiple people. This Power Automate course focuses on these concrete cases. By the end, you walk away with the techniques to save hours every week.
Module 1: Introduction to Power Automate
Module 2: Creating Automated Workflows
Module 3: Using Pre-built Templates
Module 4: Integrating with Other Applications
Power Automate is the Microsoft tool that democratizes no-code automation in Microsoft 365. Included in most M365 subscriptions, it allows business profiles (no longer just developers) to create their own automations in a few clicks. The Power Automate training delivers these reflexes in one intensive day.
The benefit is immediate: an incoming email automatically triggers the creation of a Planner task, an updated SharePoint document notifies a team on Teams, an approval request follows its path without any manual intervention.
The training places significant focus on understanding flow logic: a trigger (event that starts the automation), one or more actions (what happens), and possibly conditions or loops. This simple logic opens almost infinite possibilities.
You discover the flow types: automated flow (triggered by an event), instant flow (triggered by a button), scheduled flow (at regular intervals).
Power Automate offers hundreds of connectors to Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Excel, OneDrive, Planner, Forms and beyond (Twitter, Dropbox, third party services). The course details the most used Microsoft 365 connectors and shows how to combine them for cross functional automations.
The most common Power Automate use case is approval management. You learn to build an approval flow: a form triggers a notification to a manager, who responds Approved or Rejected, and the flow continues based on the decision.
The Power Automate course is designed for HR, administrative services, project managers, self employed professionals and any business profile wanting to automate processes without depending on the IT department. Good Microsoft 365 mastery is required.
At ITTA centers in Carouge and Le Flon, this Power Automate course runs over one day led by an expert instructor in a reduced group. You build your first flows in session and conclude with a reference handbook and reusable flow examples.
