Microsoft Power Automate Tutorial
Flow Creation from Blank
 

1. Access Power Automate via the Office 365 Portal. If you do not see it, look for the Power Automate icon.
   
    
2. Click "Create" on the left side of the page. "Start from blank" should be at the top of the page.
     and 
    
3. Choose what kind of blank option you want - Automated Flow, Instant Flow, Scheduled Flow, UI Flow, or Business Process Flow. You will be asked for a name for the flow and a trigger to start the flow. Click "Create".
    
4. Choose or enter the information that is asked for and click "new step." For this example, the trigger is "When a SharePoint item is created."
   
     
    
5. Choose "Add an action" or "Add a condition". For this example, an action will be added with no condition.    
   
    
    
   • If you choose "Add a condition," you can leave one of the possibilities blank if you don't want anything to happen if that condition is met. For example, if an action has a condition of "no", do not add an action if you don't want anything to happen in that instance.
     
      
      
6. Click "Add an action", choose a connector, and then choose an action. For this example, the Notifications connector is chosen and the "Send me a mobile notification" action is selected. which will send a push notification to your Flow mobile app (if you downloaded the app on your mobile device).
   
     
    
7. Enter any information that is requested. For this example, enter the text of the tweet that you want to be sent.

9. When you are done, if you didn't choose a name or want to change the name of the flow, click "untitled" at the top left of the screen and enter a name for the flow. Click "Save flow."
