Power Automate

Approvals, alerts and system integrations that no longer depend on someone remembering.

Approval workflows, notifications, integrations between systems and repetitive tasks, automated from start to finish with low code.

What is consuming your team’s time

Manual, repetitive processes carry a hidden cost, and they can be fixed.

Email approvals stuck in the inbox, with no deadline, no escalation and no history.

Employees copying data from one system to another by hand, work that a flow could do on its own.

Notifications that depend on someone remembering to send them, which makes communication reactive and late.

Document generation (contracts, reports, notices) done manually for every case.

Systems that do not integrate, with an intermediate spreadsheet kept up to date by one person as the workaround.

Legacy processes in systems with no API, which require manual navigation through screens to run routines.

How Power Automate solves it in practice

Cloud flows automate approvals, Teams and Outlook notifications, and integration across SharePoint, Dataverse, APIs and external systems with low code. Premium connectors, such as Dataverse and HTTP, require a Power Automate premium license. For systems with no connector, we use RPA (robotic process automation) with Power Automate Desktop on the screens of legacy systems.

Every automation is built with traceability: execution history, exception handling and alerts in case of failure. Your team operates a transparent process, not a black box.

An approval stuck in email gets a deadline, reminders and automatic escalation: whoever needs to decide is notified, and the delay becomes visible.

How we run a Power Automate project

Processes mapped, automated and in production within weeks.

  1. Step 01

    Process mapping

    We identify the candidate workflows with the greatest impact on time saved and the lowest automation risk.

  2. Step 02

    Feasibility analysis

    We check available connectors, APIs, licenses and the limitations of the systems involved to plan the right approach.

  3. Step 03

    Development

    Cloud flows or Power Automate Desktop flows built with exception handling, execution logs and testing with real data.

  4. Step 04

    User acceptance

    Validation with the process users, business rule adjustments, and load and exception-case testing.

  5. Step 05

    Go-live and monitoring

    Publication to production with an execution dashboard, failure alerts and close monitoring during the first week.

What your operation gains

  • Elimination of repetitive tasks with no added value
  • Approval workflows with deadlines, escalation and a history of every decision
  • Integrations between systems through ready-made connectors, without building an integration project from scratch
  • Proactive notifications in Teams or email with no human intervention
  • Automation of legacy systems with no API using Power Automate Desktop (RPA)
  • Every run recorded in a dedicated log (SharePoint list or Dataverse), kept for as long as your audit requires
  • Higher volume with no extra labor cost, within the limits of the license
  • Native integration with Power Apps, SharePoint and Dataverse

Technologies used

  • Power Automate Cloud Flows
  • Power Automate Desktop (RPA)
  • Microsoft Teams and Outlook
  • SharePoint Online and Dataverse
  • HTTP connector and REST APIs
  • SAP and Oracle (connector or RPA, depending on the environment)
  • Azure Service Bus
  • Microsoft 365

Application examples

Illustrative scenarios to guide the assessment, not projects delivered by Yottaflow.

Finance / Controllership

Automated payment approval

Scenario

Payment approval went around by email across 3 hierarchical levels. Each approval took 4.5 days on average, with no traceability, and payments got lost in the inbox.

Solution

An approval flow with a request form, automatic routing by authority level, a Teams notification and automatic escalation after 24 hours with no response.

HR / Onboarding

Automatic digital onboarding

Scenario

The onboarding process relied on manual emails to IT, Finance and access management, took 3 to 5 days and frequently caused provisioning failures.

Solution

A flow triggered by the HR record: it creates the account in Microsoft Entra ID, adds the employee to the group that assigns the Microsoft 365 license, notifies the manager and schedules the welcome session in Teams (group-based license assignment requires Microsoft Entra ID P1, and creating the user from the flow uses a premium connector).

Procurement / Logistics

RPA for freight quoting

Scenario

An analyst manually accessed the portals of 5 carriers to quote freight: 45 minutes per order, dozens of times a day.

Solution

A Power Automate Desktop flow that checks the portals one after another, extracts the quotes, compares prices and presents a summary to the analyst for the final decision.

What you become able to do

  • 24/7 processes Cloud flows that do not depend on someone being online and run outside business hours. RPA with no one at the machine requires its own license, which we point out in the assessment.
  • Integration with less development Systems linked by ready-made connectors or by HTTP calls, which require a Power Automate premium license, instead of an integration project built from scratch.
  • Automatic auditing A history of who approved what, when and with what justification, available for any audit.
  • Higher volume without hiring for the role The flow absorbs growth within the limits of the license; we size those limits before going to production.

Why Yottaflow

Automations built to handle failure

We build with exception handling, failure alerts and rigorous testing, not only for the path where everything goes right.

RPA inside Power Automate

We use Power Automate Desktop for systems with no API, on the same platform as your flows. Microsoft 365 does not include RPA: before we start, we tell you which license each automation requires (Power Automate Premium for attended RPA, Process for unattended RPA).

Integration with the ecosystem

Flows connected to Power Apps, Power BI and SharePoint, as part of an integrated platform rather than one-off solutions.

Knowledge transfer

We deliver with technical documentation and training, so your team can monitor and maintain the automations without having to call us back.
