I'm a typical liberal arts student who doesn't even know the P in PAD, but as I watched the videos one by one and followed along, I found myself creating a new FLOW. ㅎㅎ Watching the book would be helpful, but this lecture was really helpful. There were 6 lectures, lol. I watched them all one by one, reviewed them again, and finished them off by thinking about whether there were any parts that I could apply to my work. This was a really helpful lecture for beginners.!! :)

I finished the basic and essential lectures in 3 days. It explained PAD based on my understanding of RPA in such a quick and easy way. I strongly recommend this lecture to those who have a strong will to automate but find learning Python? R? burdensome. I really only need to automate this one thing. I personally organize the titles and senders of dozens of PDFs that come in every day into Excel. It takes 2-3 hours a day to open the PDF and organize the title, sender, person in charge, contact information, etc. Through PAD, I automatically process it during lunch time. I think this is the result of this class. I am sure that this lecture will give a really accurate answer to those who are tired of such simple tasks and are wondering what to do.

Have you taken the RPA basic course?

Power Automate Desktop is a Microsoft RPA tool. Initially, introducing variables and learning grammar seemed overwhelming. However, the basic course introduced installation, menus, and screens, and then guided me through automating tasks. This allowed me to overcome my preconceived notions of difficulty and reduce my resistance.

Now, let's take a look at the essential course to understand variables and learn the syntax of Power Automate Desktop to better automate your tasks . Of course, you can start with the Essentials course and then move on to the Basics course to follow along!


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.

We've made Power Automate Desktop available for free , with over 400 pre-loaded actions for automating desktop-centric workflows . You can create and use automation flows for free, automating tasks across the various applications you use for work.

In this course, you'll learn variables and syntax in the free Power Automate Desktop through hands-on practice.
