Repeating the same task over and over is tedious and time-consuming. Here's how I leverage Microsoft Power Automate to boost my Office productivity.

What’s nice about this way of working with Power Automate is that it extends the fusion teams concept Microsoft has been pioneering with its cross-disciplinary approach to low-code development.

Bundled with Windows 11, Power Automate for Windows lets you wrap low-code workflows around your desktop applications. A new SDK supports custom actions.

For instance, you can make a Power Automate flow that will create a new Planner task any time a channel post starts with “TODO,” eliminating the need to manually create said task after the fact.
