This topic has been continuously raised by multiple people I’ve been talking to. How can a user be mentioned in Microsoft Teams when a message is sent from Power Automate? This issue seemed to never been really possible for us, Power Users, until couple days ago Microsoft released new action in Microsoft Teams set in Power Automate called: “Get @mention token for a user”. It’s even cooler, because it works with Adaptive Cards too!
In the beginning of July Microsoft has added two new triggers for Power Automate to integrate better with Microsoft Teams: For a selected message and When a new team member is added. In this post I will go you in details through the first one from them.
With a huge pleasure I would like to announce that we (as I had some role to play in this as well!) have completed work over preparation and testing of the Microsoft RPA labs!
Not so long ago I wrote a post where I was describing how to integrate WinAutomation with UI flows (here). It didn’t take much time for Microsoft to release a dedicated connector, that does the same thing, but well… Is much easier to use!
With this new trigger you can add create a new level of governance for your Microsoft Teams. Especially when speaking about the on-boarding users or other automated processes for newly added Teams members.
Power Virtual Agents has just been equipped with the new functionality called “global variables”. With it we are now able to chain topics’ conversation and still be able to know the context from previous topics. Also – bots can be given the context from external applications using those variables. How to do it? Let me show you.
Having the trigger in Power Automate called “When a file is deleted” many asks if there is a possibility to restore that removed file or delete it permanently? Yes it is. Let me show you how.
In my previous post First steps to start using WinAutomation with UI flows I have guided you through installation and troubleshooting of WinAutomation. However, since this tool became a part of the Microsoft’s RPA landscape, the important question is: how to integrate it with UI flows and existing Power Automate processes? Let me show you my approach.
On May 19th Microsoft announced they have acquired company Softomotive, the maker of the WinAutomation RPA tool (source: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-acquires-softomotive-to-expand-low-code-robotic-process-automation-capabilities-in-microsoft-power-automate/). Let me walk you through first steps so that you can start using it as well.
Ever been there? You know what question you want to ask to a chatbot, but it is not trained to understand it, so instead telling you, it doesn’t know the answer, it’s just constantly asking you to rephrase the question?
