Power Automate

“We did exactly this and it’s working exceptionally well. We process roughly 700 invoices a month from various vendors. A couple things to note - Staging folders on sharepoint are gold Getting the Adobe pdf API solved our multi-page pdf problem I trained the AP department on how to train the model with more vendors. It’s managed by them now. Break up the power automate flow in to as many small flows as possible. I used to have one mega flow that did everything from start to finish and it ”

“Use graph api and python. Automate is nice for doing something small and simple. Any time you need a robust solution it sucks. There are so many undocumented pitfalls. It'll really piss you off when you do something that works in test only to find it breaks in production because of some unknown limitation.”

“A great no code cloud RPA tool from Microsoft. | Very useful RPA tools for automating processes with minimal coding and drag-and-drop functionality, with a wide variety of triggers, including scheduled time-based triggers and activity-based triggers, such as modifying a file/list in SharePoint to run a Power Automate flow. Very easy-to-use UI with native integration with every Microsoft product, and a very low automation failure rate for deployed workflows. | Pros: Seamless integration with Micr”

“Microsoft Power Automate A Strong Workflow Automation for the Microsoft 365 Ecosystem. | I am using Power Automate in my organisation to automate workflows for updating SharePoint list data and sending emails, and for scheduling tasks and jobs, as well as for integrating with third-party apps such as SAP, Power Apps, and SQL for CRUD Operations. | Pros: Cross-system integration gaps. | Pros: Approval Workflows (One of Power Automates Strongest Areas). | Pros: SharePoint List & Document Automatio”

“Power Automate. | We replaced all the classic SharePoint and Nintex-based workflows with Power Automate. This saved extra licensing costs and getaways from managing legacy workflows. Power Automate Designer is very user-friendly and requires no additional learning curve. We also use it to replace RPA solutions created with other platforms using the Power Automate Desktop application. | Pros: Customer follow-up. | Pros: Finance approval Process. | Pros: Payment booking. | Cons: Some standard/buil”

“Hi, I have worked with AI builder for some project. AI builder can actually meet your need. In my scenario, I train the model using custom order processing which Ideally should also be your use case. You can create collection for the different Vendors and train about 10 documents of each. In terms of token, honestly it varies. Based on my observation, each processing consumes 100 AI builder credit . Having a Power Automate premium license is not sufficient. You will also need to purchase A”

“It’s easy to build no-code automations that can be deployed in the cloud and connected with Microsoft applications like Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint. They’re very straightforward to deploy in the cloud and have a very low failure rate, so the automations feel highly reliable. The basic connectors are free and cover most of my everyday automation needs, such as automatically sending emails and updating SharePoint files.Has a no code UI where with drag and drop the automation can be built No iss”

“I love the possibility of automating my entire Microsoft environment in my company, as we work with the entire Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem. We have been able to integrate the whole company with a few automations and with few licenses, because only those who develop and those who use the flow need a license. So far, I haven't had any failures, except for some configurations that don't hold. In general, it is very fast and efficient. Moreover, the interface has been improved over time and t”

“In my opinion, Microsoft Power Automate will throttle your SharePoint List | In my experience, it's well suited for a list with few fields and few rows. Not good for our team with 1,500 rows and 100 fields of data. We switched to Nintex as they were able to not have the throttling issue. In my opinion, throttling is a deal killer for Microsoft Power Automate. I think if you cannot do work flow real time it's not worth the effort to use Microsoft Power Automate. | Pros: Email notification | Pr”

“PA is great within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. I see little value in it outside of that scope. PA has a lot of bugs, and I’ll call them ‘quirks’ because calling them design flaws and/or bad design is mean. 😏 A lot of times, I think it’d be faster for someone to learn JS or Python than it would be to learn PA. In addition to these issues, the issues I have with PA are: The New Designer is absolute hot garbage The team doesn’t fix bugs (It’s MS. So, no surprise there!) Far too many con”

“I've been trying to automate some simple internal tasks—like generating PDFs from form inputs or sending conditional emails—and every time I go into Power Automate I feel like I'm wiring up a spaceship. Between the UI clutter, the constant connector issues, and needing to debug JSON just to do basic stuff, it feels like way too much for simple workflows. I get that it's powerful, but it's just not... fast. Has anyone found something lighter or more intuitive for quick automations? Preferably som”
