Azure & Office 365

Within Microsoft Teams, a versatile platform facilitating collaboration and teamwork, the unveiling of the Workflows app marks a significant stride in simplifying and enhancing task and process automation. This innovative app is underpinned by Power Automate, a robust solution renowned for its prowess in data governance, risk management, and compliance.

Workflows transcends conventional limitations, consolidating all workflow capabilities within Teams into a singular, cohesive app. Users are empowered to effortlessly generate, oversee, and execute workflows interlinked with diverse Microsoft 365 workloads, spanning Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Outlook, among others. Furthermore, they can harness a multitude of pre-established connectors and templates to seamlessly integrate with external services and systems.

The introduction of the Message Extension within Workflows revolutionizes the initiation of workflows within Teams. This pioneering feature allows users to engage with workflows through interactive buttons and forms embedded within the Teams client. Whether initiating actions in an external system from the compose message area, command box, or directly from a message, users can delve into a plethora of functions without exiting Teams. For instance, they can instantly create an invoice, reserve a resource, or scour for a work item, all within the immersive realm of Microsoft Teams.

By using Workflows, users can save time and effort by automating repetitive tasks and business processes. They can also improve their productivity and collaboration by sharing the results of their workflows with their team members in the form of rich cards. Workflows is designed to empower everyone to build automated processes using low-code drag-and-drop tools and AI assistance.

Workflows is expected to be available soon for all Teams users.
