In our day to day we are used to carrying out hundreds of actions. Some consist of making decisions and therefore require our full attention, but many others are routine or automatic actions that consume our time and that we could well save ourselves by automating them. In many occasions, a simple application could have solved some unforeseen work or expedited some management.

To help improve the productivity of our users and, therefore, of our company, Office 365 includes Microsoft PowerApps and Microsoft Flow, two tools that will help you automate tasks and create applications that streamline your work.

Microsoft PowerApps

Microsoft PowerApps is an Office 365 tool that allows you to quickly and easily create mobile, desktop or web applications, connected to your data and reducing complexity and development costs.

Microsoft PowerApps allows you to establish connections with different data sources for the applications created, including your own Office 365 services such as Excel or SharePoint Online lists, databases such as SQL Server or Oracle and CRM systems such as Dynamics 365 or Salesforce, among many others. others.

One of the features of PowerApps is that users who have some office skills can create basic applications in a relatively simple way. However, when more advanced applications are required, Softeng, as a specialist in Office 365 solutions, can help you in creating these to improve the productivity of your company.

Microsoft Flow

Microsoft Flow lets you create automated workflows between applications and services to get notifications, sync files, collect data from virtually any source, and pretty much anything you can think of.

With Flow, you can automate repetitive tasks in multi-step workflows. For example, capture tweets and add them as potential clients in Dynamics 365, subscribers in MailChimp, etc ... Imagination to power !! :)

Connectors and templates

As with PowerApps, Flow allows you to connect workflows of almost any service or application that we can find on the market. From social networks like Yammer, Twitter or Facebook to email servers like Outlook or CRM systems like Dynamics 365 or Salesforce.

From its templates section, you will find a wide list of automatic tasks that you can use and edit to adapt them to your needs.

On the other hand, you can combine tasks with each other to chain them and thus generate an entire process, saving you as much time as possible and even personalizing the tasks with constraints. Softeng, as a specialist in Office 365 solutions, can also help you in creating these workflows to improve the productivity of your company.
