Automate More, Stress Less: Microsoft Power Automate & Copilot

Running a business means juggling countless tasks—admin, HR, marketing, sales, dispatch, and finance. It’s easy to get bogged down in repetitive, time-consuming work. That’s where Microsoft Power Automate comes in. And with Microsoft 365 Copilot, you don’t need to be a tech expert to start automating your day-to-day processes.

Why Power Automate Is a Game-Changer

Power Automate is Microsoft’s powerful automation tool that helps you eliminate repetitive tasks. It connects your apps and systems so you can build workflows—called “flows”—that handle the busywork for you.

Thanks to its intuitive drag-and-drop interface and ready-made templates, you can easily automate tasks like:

Saving email attachments to OneDrive
Getting Teams alerts when files change
Sending approval requests to managers

And now, with Microsoft Copilot built in, you can create these flows just by describing what you want in plain English.

Copilot Makes Automation Even Easier

Copilot in Power Automate lets you build and edit flows through natural conversation. Just say what you need—like “Send a Teams message when a file is updated in SharePoint”—and Copilot builds it for you.

It also helps you:

Fix broken flows
Analyse performance
Suggest improvements
Record desktop actions for robotic process automation (RPA)

Whether you’re working with cloud flows, desktop flows, or process mining, Copilot acts like your personal automation assistant.

Real Business Wins with Automation

Imagine onboarding a new team member. Normally, that means emails, account setups, and calendar invites. With Power Automate and Copilot, it’s one flow—and it’s done.

Or managing sales leads—no more manual assignments or follow-ups. Power Automate handles it all in the background.

Even expense reports can be automated. Just scan, submit, and move on.

Big Brands, Big Results

Life on Mars

Mars, the global confectionery and food manufacturer, used Microsoft Power Automate to save time, reduce errors, and improve how their IT team works. By automating over 30 complex processes, they cut down on manual tasks and made their systems more reliable. This helped their teams focus on more important work and respond faster to business needs.1

Toyota Travels

Toyota used Microsoft Power Automate and Microsoft Forms to speed up and simplify their travel approval process. What used to take days and lots of paperwork now happens in minutes with just a few clicks. This helped their teams work faster, stay organised, and reduce mistakes.2
