The new “Automate work” button in Excel Online, powered by Power Automate, has made it easier than ever to automate tasks and run processes efficiently from anywhere. This feature extends the capabilities of Power Automate by providing access to pre-built templates and allowing users to build workflows quickly and easily within Excel Online. This button replaces the “Automate a Task” button in Excel Online. Previously, the “Automate a Task” button only allowed users to select templates for Office Scripts, which would then take them to the Power Automate portal to build a flow. But now, with just a few clicks, you can automate repetitive tasks, reduce errors, and boost productivity, all without ever leaving Excel!
The Power Automate Plugin for ChatGPT allows you to create and run flows directly from within ChatGPT. Use the new Skills connector and Run from copilot connector to author flows that can be called from ChatGPT that leverage the over 1000+ connectors in Power Automate.
As Power Platform has grown in functionality, customers frequently navigate between capabilities across the Platform for building automations, applications, chatbots, pages, and more. We are also seeing customers benefit from the Environments within Power Platform, that gives them roles-based isolation to scale with confidence. Based on your feedback, we’ve made it easier than ever to navigate with a simplified left navigation pane and a more informative environment selection experience.
