Automate the Office

Stop repeating office tasks that Microsoft Power Automate can handle for you.

Automate the Office is a practical guide for office professionals, administrators, team leads and Microsoft 365 users who want to automate everyday work without becoming Power Platform developers.

Through 30 practical workflows, you'll learn how to automate common tasks involving Outlook, Excel, Microsoft Forms, SharePoint and Teams.

Discover how to:

• Save, filter, rename and organise email attachments
• Turn Forms responses into structured SharePoint records
• Create folders, request numbers and tracking systems automatically
• Build approvals, reminders and overdue-work escalations
• Process Excel tables and prevent duplicate processing
• Create recurring reports, Teams notifications and useful digests
• Diagnose failed flows using run history
• Design automations that survive reruns, permissions changes and handovers

The book combines clear workflow maps, build sequences, configuration examples, testing guidance and troubleshooting advice. It focuses not only on making a flow run, but on making sure it produces the correct business result and can be maintained afterwards.

If you already use Microsoft 365 and regularly find yourself copying, filing, chasing, updating or reporting the same information, this book will show you where automation can remove the repetition.
