“Seamless Routing and Timely Notifications Improve Efficiency”
The overall experience has been pretty great. We bought this into the organisation to automate a lot of workflows that used to need heavy manual handling: whether it was chasing critical stakeholders between signoffs, a higher manager approving a discount for a contract, or someone in marketing pulling a trigger on if the material someone in the team has created (this is becoming more prevalant in the current AI driven material generation) is compliant with our brand guidelines and GDPR. Before the implementation, there was quite a lot of manual chasing involved, which led to a lot of delays. Now once the workflow is setup, walk the relevant person through what they need to check and where, and it runs seamlessly from there. Notifications land at the right time without being bothersome, which makes it handy working with sales teams who can actually engage with them rather than ignore them. Bottlenecks that used to depend on someone picking up an email at the right moment have mostly disappeared. not quite a megastar though, there is some scope of doing better like flows can at times fail quietly which takes some digging to figure out where it went wrong, but a small tradeoff in the grand schema of things. amazing tool.

“Power Automate still a great tool despite changes to UI”
Overall the product has been good in the past. There are many connectors for 3rd party softwares outside of Microsoft offerings. Lately they have put less time into development of Power Automate features though, which is disappointing, and there have been UI/UX decisions such as making much more whitespace than needed which make using the tool more difficult. Thankfully, the classic view is still offered as an option in many contexts, though I suspect that eventually they will move everyone to the new view.

Has anyone ever created a desktop power automate to get attachments(PDF) from an email and then transfer that to a folder ?IT Manager

Any Automation CoE's that centralized enterprise RPA (ex: UiPath or AA) and low-Code automation (ex: MS Power Automate) platforms as part of their organizations? What were the primary drivers for organizing this way? Benefits?Program Director, Intelligent Automation + Entrepreneur
See Full DiscussionI have tried to decentralize RPA, but it's really difficult since to build them you need a software development background, it takes a month of training, and you need to be continuously building to keep one's skillset honed. RDA on the other hand is great to democratize.

Efficient integration of complex applications and workflows using Power Automate
Power Automate has helped us automate repetitive processes and integrate workflows from different applications across our entire Microsoft infrastructure. This tool helps us efficiently reduce repetitive tasks that take many man-hours per week, and by automating them, human error is reduced to zero. During the automation process, we were also able to integrate it not only with Microsoft tools but also with third-party tools, allowing us to create more efficient and complex workflows. - Data Analyst1B-10B USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
Power Automate Simplifies Repetitive Workflows but Faces Issues With Complex Automations
I have used Power Automate to build RPA for many manual processes in my organization related to accounts receivables which were repetitive and time consuming. Overall, I like that the power automate has a user-friendly interface and the integration with Microsoft ecosystem tools like excel, outlook works seamlessly which is not the case with other RPA tools. But when it comes to complex automation, it lacks features and requires additional efforts and structured error-handling. - PROJECT MANAGERGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source

Power Automate efficiently allowed us to develop CRM like functionalities to action data insights developed in Power BI and delivered to the user via Power Apps. Being able to quickly test the value of data driven communications without having to scope a complex system integration with the enterprise CRM environment was a key enabler of agility.
