construction space of a flow and power automate.

00:00:07

This is where you will turn your automation ideas into reality.

00:00:12

Thanks to the completely redesigned interface that is now available.

00:00:16

Start by opening power automate and clicking on create to start a new flow.

00:00:21

You will see several options, automated flow,

00:00:24

instant flow or scheduled flow.

00:00:27

Choose the one that fits your needs.

00:00:30

After selecting the type of flow,

00:00:32

you will be prompted to enter a name for the flow

00:00:34

and choose a trigger associated with the application or action concerned.

00:00:39

Remember the trigger is the event that starts your flow.

00:00:42

For instance,

00:00:43

it could be the receipt of an email or the upload of a file to a shared space.

00:00:49

Next, you will be taken to the construction screen.

00:00:52

This is your canvas for automation

00:00:54

here using the plus button, you will add actions to build your flow.

00:01:00

These are the steps your flow will execute. After being triggered,

00:01:03

you can add as many actions as necessary,

00:01:06

configuring them according to your specific needs

00:01:09

to access the configuration of different actions or triggers.

00:01:12

Simply click on the concerned block and fill in

00:01:15

the various parameters as required in the left pane

00:01:19

pay attention to the details. When configuring each action,

00:01:23

you can also add logical conditions or loops to handle

00:01:26

more complex scenarios which we will cover in future tutorials.

00:01:30

Once your flow is configured and finalized,

00:01:33

remember to rename it if necessary and save it,

00:01:36

check it to ensure there are no inconsistencies or incorrect parameters,

00:01:41

make the needed modifications to make your flow operational,

00:01:44

then test it to see if it works as expected.

00:01:48

Note that the fact that power automate does not return any

00:01:50

errors does not mean that your flow will behave as anticipated

00:01:55

on the right side.

00:01:56

A copilot pane is available for you to express

00:01:59

your needs for modification or addition of elements.

00:02:02

We will cover this in another tutorial.

00:02:05

The power automate construction space is intuitive and

00:02:08

flexible allowing complete customization of your flows.

00:02:12

Feel free to experiment with different configurations to

00:02:16

find the best solution for your needs.

00:02:18

In the next tutorials,

00:02:20

we will delve deeper into each aspect to help you become an automation expert.
