Ah ㅋㅋ Among the PAD lectures, this BASIC is the most useful, but there hasn't been a single course review yet, I'm the first one ㅎㅎ>< Anyway, this is really useful. ㅋ At first, when I come to work, I have to turn on several Excel programs, or the company's INTRANET site, honestly, there are about 5~6 of them, so I just come to work and run the Flow that opens the company's essential programs on the PAD, and I go get water or coffee. -> Then, they're all already turned on. ㅎㅎ (I even put Spotify on those 5~6 sites ㅋㅋ so that I can play the music I want) And I can also create a flow that sends the status of receivables to each company (I applied the lecture on sending the due date of the Omas program that appears here) ㅋㅋ I actually sent it to my email too ㅎ I sent an email to my client 3 days before the receivables deadline, and the bosses noticed it as a reminder and sent the money late, but this time they sent it early. ㅋ Honestly, it's so good, right? ㅋㅋ That's why I don't want to tell other people ㅋ Hehe, there are a lot of other things I've applied. Like creating a flow that allows me to receive articles about the areas I'm interested in by email ㅎ Anyway, while listening to the lecture, don't just listen to the lecture, but definitely!! Think about whether there are parts that you can apply to your work? And whether there are things you can apply to your personal work as well. Then, you'll create a new flow, think more, and go through trial and error to gradually learn more about PAD!! Fighting everyone!!

This is a lecture that makes it easy to understand Power Automation by following along very easily for beginners. Automation with Python is good, but if you want automation that is easier and simpler, Power Automation is the best. It was a good lecture that made it easy to learn Power Automation by following along. Thank you.

By any chance... are you working like this? 🥲

If you're on the Finance team and your job involves searching for exchange rates by country every day, creating a file, and sending it to your colleagues, you're probably doing this over and over again.


But what if you could do this with just one click?

By using Power Automate Desktop to automate repetitive tasks, you can turn tedious, repetitive tasks into simple tasks that can be completed with a single click.


Why Power Automate Desktop? 🧐

With the implementation of a digital office environment due to COVID-19, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has begun replacing previously simple tasks. RPA is now performing a wide range of repetitive tasks, such as collecting and analyzing data for use in business processes. The processing speed is incomparably faster than human labor, and the reduced risk of errors is boosting corporate competitiveness.

Power Automate, Microsoft's RPA tool, is a workflow service that uses desktop flows and UI-based automation to connect existing and new systems and help reduce repetitive tasks.

In October 2021, Microsoft announced that Power Automate Desktop would be available free to all users running Windows 10 or later. This means Power Automate Desktop, which comes pre-loaded with approximately 400 actions for automating desktop-centric workflows, is now available for free. You can create and use automation flows that automate tasks across the various applications you use at work.

In this course, you'll learn through hands-on practice how to automate repetitive tasks using the free Power Automate Desktop.

      It helped me gain a basic understanding of using Power Automate tools and get a feel for how they work. Some features have slightly different settings compared to the lecture content, which seems to be due to differences in the timing of the recording or the user environment.

        Thank you for taking the time to write a review. There may be slight differences depending on the user environment. I will check once more to see if the timing is the cause. 😃
