{Do you know} Use workflows on Calendar events in Teams and Outlook.

uk365guy

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on use workflows on calendar events in Teams and Outlook.

Let’s get’s started.

Certainly! You can use workflows on calendar events in Microsoft Teams and Outlook to automate repetitive tasks and processes. This feature which is part of the Microsoft Power Automate platform, allows you to create flows that can be triggered at the start or end of a meeting.

For example:

Here’s how you can set up and use the workflows:

1. Select Apps from the left side of the Teams.

2. Scroll and select Workflows from the navigation on the left.

3. Choose a workflow that fits your needs.

4. Follow the prompts to set it up.

Once added, the workflow will run automatically based on the triggers you’ve configured. For instance, you could have a workflow that notifies a channel when a Planner task changes status or starts an approval process when a SharePoint list is modified.

This functionality is expected to be generally available in August 2024. It is designed to boost productivity by automating tasks related to calendar events, saving you time and effort.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.

Let’s get’s started.

Microsoft has introduced a feature that simplifies the license assignment process for amdinistrators, providing a governed self-serve mechanism for premium feature process.

This feature is particularly useful for Power Automate admins who need to understand which users are utilizing Power Automate and require a premium license. The intelligent license recommendations will provide admins with a list of users who would benefits from having a premium license, based on various criteria such as license requests by users, seeded users without a premium license, and active users without a premium license.

The feature is set to be enabled for general availability in August 2024. It will allow admins to receive intelligent license recommendations and automatically assign licenses to selected users directly or through a security group.

This feature is now available in public preview and can be accessed from the Power Platform Admin Center.

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on connecting own virtual network with hosted machine group.

Let’s get’s started.

Connecting your own virtual network (VNet) with a hosted machine group in Power Automate allows you to run desktop flows and execute RPA jobs that requires access to on-premises networks.

This integration ensures secure and reliable connectivity between the hosted machines and your own on premises networks.

Here are the key steps to get started.

1. Create a Hosted Machine Group (HMG): Set up a hosted machine group within Power Automate.

2. Integrate with your VNet: Connect the HMG to your own virtual network, This can be done through the Power Automate interface, ensuring that the hosted machines can communicate with your on premises resources.

3. Configure Network Settings: Ensure that the network settings are correctly configured to allow seamless communication between the hosted machines and your VNet.

4. Run Desktop Flows: Once connected, you can run desktop flows that requires access to your own on premises network, leveraging the secure connection provided by your VNet.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.

uk365guy

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on Collaborae with sales teams using AI-powered planner tasks in Microsoft Copilot for Sales.

Let’s get’s started.

AI-powered planner tasks can significantly enhance collaboration within sales teams. Here’s how it works:

1. Automated Prompting: The Copilot for Sales bot in Microsoft Teams channels automatically scans conversations for relevant discussions and action items. When it identifies potential tasks, it prompts you and other sales team members with a notification, seeking your agreement to create the tasks.

2. Task Creation and Assignment: Once you agree, the solution automatically creates Teams tasks (planner tasks) based on the identified action items. A preview of the tasks is shown to you, the user creating the tasks. These tasks are then assigned to relevant users, ensuring accountability.

3. Planner App Integration in Teams: Sales team members get a centralized view of all the tasks by pinning the planner app to the Teams channel. These tasks can also be accessed directly from the planner app.

This solution streamlines task management, improves collaboration, and enhances productivity for sales teams .

It works for Dynamics 365 Apps.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.

{Do you know} Improve engagement and compliance with double opt-in in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights

uk365guy

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on improving engagement and compliance with double opt-in.

Let’s get’s started.

Double opt-in adds great value to the email marketing, so ensuring a high quality, engaged subscribers base by requiring users to confirm their subscription through a follow-up email.

This process not only reduces spam complaints and bounces rates but also enhances sender reputation and supports compliance with data protection regulations,

By implementing double opt-in, marketers can cultivate a more effective email marketing strategy, leading to increased open and click-through rates and a better overall brand experience for subscribers.

New feature details:

Administrator can enable double opt-in at a compliance profile level and easily enforce double opt-in flow for all the forms using the compliance profile.

Use familiar concepts like triggers and journeys to orchestrate the double opt-in process, allowing you to customize the process to meet your business needs.

New contacts (or leads) won’t be created until the customer has confirmed their opt-in keeping your contact and lead lists free of bad data.

That’s it for today.

I hope this helps.
