Hi everyone!!!
This is the first article in my new series called Quick Automation Talk. In this series, I will answer simple questions about automation tools and how developers can use them in their daily work.
Let’s start with a common question to use Power Automate to send automatic notifications from Microsoft Teams.
Step 1: Create a Flow
- Go to the Power Automate website and sign in with your Microsoft account.
- Click on Create and then choose Automated cloud flow. This type of flow starts automatically when something happens, like when a file is uploaded or a new task is created.
Step 2: Choose a Trigger
A trigger is what starts your automation. You can choose one based on what you need.
For example
- When a new file is added to SharePoint
- When a new task is assigned in Planner
- When a new message is posted in a Teams channel
Select the trigger that suits your task and move to the next step.
Step 3: Add a Microsoft Teams Action
Click on New Step, search for Microsoft Teams, and choose what you want to do.
You can
- Post a message in a chat or channel
- Send a message to a user
Write your message. You can also add details like task names, user names, or dates so the message updates automatically.
Step 4: Test Your Flow
- Click Save and then Test your flow to check if it works.
If it does not, make small changes until it runs properly. Once everything looks good, turn it on and it will send notifications automatically in Microsoft Teams.
Power Automate can do much more than send notifications. You can use it to create reminders, handle approvals, or collect updates without doing things manually.
This was the first article of my Quick Automation Talk series.
