Power Automate

 

Streamline repetitive tasks by creating automated workflows; it’ll save you time and let you focus more on what you need to.

With Power Automate, tasks like data entry, data collection, sign-offs or approvals and status updates instantly become more efficient. The proof is out there - in the Forrester Total Economic Impact study, PowerApps and Power Automate resulted in 362% increased ROI, 70% reduced development costs, and 15% increased business process efficiency.

Use case scenarios 

  • New opportunity updates - send a weekly email summary of new Dynamics 365 opportunities to your Sales team.
  • Approval processing - start a contract approval process when you’ve won an opportunity.
  • Creating a new contact in CRM - extract contact data from a new email and create a new contact record in Dynamics CRM, flagging potential duplicates.
  • Automating an onboarding process 

From manual to automated: Streamlining the IRD form onboarding process 

Many organisations will manually process new employee information, including the IRD Tax Declaration form - but there's an easier way using Power Automate:

1. New employees complete the IRD Tax Declaration form.

2. This IRD Tax form is uploaded into a private SharePoint site.

3. A flow is executed that will review and extract the data – either handwritten or digitally typed, and store that data against a Contact record in a model-driven app. This model-driven app can live in either Dynamics 365 or the Common Data Service [CDS].

This is all possible with AI Builder Form Processing, where an AI Model is trained to analyse and detect data from fields in the scanned IRD Tax Declaration forms. Using flow in Power Automate, the information is automatically extracted and stored with other employee information.
