RPA for beginners: Get started with Microsoft Power Automate and AI

Introduction

What is RPA, and why now?

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) lets you automate repetitive digital tasks across Excel, browsers, emails, and business systems, without heavy development. With Microsoft Power Automate the tool is part of your existing Microsoft environment, and the combination with AI makes it possible to automate even more than before.

What do you get out of the course?

You go from hearing about RPA to actually having built your first flows. We focus on the practical side: which tasks are worth automating, how to get started, and how to avoid the classic pitfalls, so you end up with a solid foundation to build on.

About the course

Details and modules

• Lessons

  During this 1-day course, we cover the following topics through relevant use cases:

  • Introduction to RPA and Microsoft Power Automate: A clear overview of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and how Power Automate fits into your daily work. We explore how the tools make routine tasks more efficient without requiring any coding skills.
  • Process mapping and documentation: Before automating, it is important to understand each step in a task. You learn simple ways to map and record your workflows, so you know precisely where automation can save you time and effort.
  • Building your first flows: Learn how to create automated flows from scratch or use the built-in AI features in Copilot in Power Automate Desktop as your helper.
  • Testing and managing automation: After building flows, you need to test them, fix potential errors, and roll them out in a real-world setting using best practices for keeping everything running smoothly over time.
  • Expanding functionality with AI and integrations: Explore how AI can enhance your flows and how to connect Power Automate with other Microsoft tools, so you can keep building on what you learned after the course.

  Changes: New features are continuously added to Power Automate. When appropriate, we incorporate these in the course to ensure coverage of the newest functionalities. Thus, the above topics may change accordingly.
