Microsoft Power Platform: Apps, Automation, and Governance Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Brazil (online or onsite) is tailored for business analysts aiming to automate workflows and tasks using Microsoft Flow / Power Automate.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop business applications without requiring any prior developer experience.
• Manage and analyze flows to support business solutions.
• Create flows, define triggers, add actions, and configure conditions.

This instructor-led, live training in Brazil (online or onsite) is aimed at business staff, managers, developers, and data analysts who wish to adapt, implement, integrate, and manage Microsoft Power Platform components and features in their organization.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Build simple applications with Power Apps to create custom solutions for everyday business needs.
• Automate workflow processes using Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow) to minimize manual and repetitive tasks.
• Create data reports and dashboards with Power BI to generate insightful analytics for the business.
• Build chatbots using Power Virtual Agents to automate and resolve common customer inquiries and issues.

This course provides a foundational understanding of the core principles behind Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, along with a brief, high-level introduction to Power BI. The curriculum is centered around a real-world workflow I previously managed manually. We will construct a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to monitor tasks associated with newly constructed homes, storing the relevant data in SharePoint for simplicity. Subsequently, we will leverage Power Virtual Agents to demonstrate how users can enable bots within Microsoft Teams. These bots will guide participants to the locations of documents scattered across various SharePoint sites, such as loan agreements, budget sheets, and sales contracts. I have identified significant potential for these bots within HR and IT departments to manage repetitive inquiries efficiently. The instruction continues with setting up straightforward Power Automate flows. For instance, we will configure flows to archive attachments from specific senders—in this scenario, inspection reports organized by a bank—and implement additional simple flows to capture data from Microsoft Forms into SharePoint. We will also construct fully automated processes utilizing the Approvals app within Microsoft Teams. After completing the App, Bot, and Flow components, the final phase involves generating a simple Power BI report. We will use Power Automate to dispatch a snapshot of the table containing the most recent completed tasks every two weeks to a designated recipient (the bank in our example). This request will include the dates the tasks were finalized and their corresponding budget amounts, all of which are captured within the App. Please note that this course remains at a high level. I encourage all learners to employ ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding or formula creation in Power Apps. However, we will cover this topic within the course, demonstrating how to effectively utilize ChatGPT to assist with Power Apps formulas.

This instructor-led, live training in Brazil (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level IT professionals who wish to use Power Platform to effectively automate processes and enhance data insights.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be equipped to:

• Develop and tailor applications using Power Apps.
• Manage and analyze data utilizing Dataverse and Power BI.
• Automate intricate processes with Power Automate.
• Design and deploy intelligent chatbots via Power Virtual Agents.
• Integrate and optimize workflows across the entire Power Platform suite.
