Power Automate connectors, triggers & actions: What are they?
Connectors, triggers and actions are the key components that make up Power Automate flows. This post will explain what each of these are.
Find an employees user details from their email address with Power Automate
The Office 365 Users connector in Power Automate allows you to find details about your colleagues from their email address/UPN. This is especially useful for finding information such as their name, manager, department, job title, office location or phone number. This information can then be used in the flow, such as escalating an approval request to someone's manager.
Save email attachments to SharePoint with Power Automate
In Power Automate you can set up a flow to monitor your inbox and automatically save attachments that have been emailed to you. This post will show you how to create this flow and have the attachments saved to a SharePoint folder.
Trigger a flow based on words used in the subject of an email (at least one word from a range used)
When using the Outlook Power Automate trigger, When a new email arrives, you can apply a filter based on the email subject. Rather than just a single string as your Subject Filter, you may want to apply a filter that will work on multiple different words. The advanced settings for the trigger allow you to set these conditions.
