Summary

In this chapter, we saw that Power Automate can do a lot for us in our day-to-day repetitive work, giving us time to do more important things and improve our service, our area, and our company. As it is a simple tool, everyone can start using it to solve their problems, but using it incorrectly can greatly damage the organization in the medium and long term. In this chapter, we learned where we should store our flows, how to validate and walk step by step, how to make our flow clear and organized, and how to prevent automation from becoming gremlins beyond our control!

And, of course, we learned how we can share all our work and best practices with other people so that their life is automated, just like ours!

In the next chapter, we will continue our saga within the Power Platform, learning how to do business apps with Power Apps.
