Book Description:
Whether you want to organize simple files or perform more complex

applications that don't allow outside access, Power Automate Desktop
helps meet these challenges. This book shows you how to leverage this
workflow automation platform by explaining the underlying RPA concepts
in a step-by-step way.
You'll start with simple flows that can be easily recorded and further
processed using the built-in recorder. Later, you'll learn how to use
the more advanced actions to automate folder and file management and
enable Office programs to interact with each other. You'll also get to
grips with integrating desktop flows into other cloud environments and
further enhance their value using AI. As you progress, you'll understand
how flows can run unattended and how they are managed in the Power
Platform, as well as key concepts such as creating, modifying,
debugging, and error-handling UI flows. Finally, the book will guide you
to use Process Automation Designer (PAD) in conjunction with your
frequently used desktop systems to automate routine tasks.
By the end of this book, you'll have become a Power Automate Desktop
expert, automating both professional and personal tasks.
