Hi Readers and Viewers

In this video, we will look at the top reasons for you to start using Power Automate. Also, this is the last episode of the series so I thought what’s better than a comparison. If you remember, in my first episode I asked you that have you found your reason to use Power Automate yet? Well, if you haven’t I am giving you the reasons in this episode.
Power Automate Flow | Dynamics 365 CE Workflow |
No Code SMS Integration https://txtsync.com | Not OOTB |
Social Media Integration | Not OOTB |
Convert to PDF (Multiple ways available) | Not OOTB |
Copy Salesforce Account/Contacts to D365 | Not OOTB |
Sync email attachements to OneDrive | Not OOTB |
Gmail to Dynamics 365 and Dynamics 365 to Google calendar | Not OOTB |
Updating 1 to Many relationship records | Not OOTB |
Update a lookup field from text field https://diyd365.com/2019/03/12/update-a-lookup-from-a-text-field-no-code-solution/ | Not OOTB |
Update opportunity/order/quote from opportunity/order/quote close forms https://diyd365.com/2019/09/13/how-to-update-an-opportunity-from-opportunity-close-and-send-an-email-on-opportunity-close-using-ms-flows-no-code-solution/ | Not OOTB |
Everything in the list above is in context of Dynamics 365. Out of the box (OOTB) Dynamics 365 workflows can’t do any of the above. You will have to create a custom workflow (#code) or a plugin (#code).
Hope I have given you reasons to start working on Power Automate.
