We’ve produced this video to ensure that you know which Power Automate tutorial you should be watching! Unforgivably Microsoft have given the same name to two completely different products: the old Microsoft Flow (now called Power Automate), which allows you to automate workflows in the cloud, and the old WinAutomation (now called Power Automate for Desktop), which allows you to implement Robotic Process Automation on your desktop computer. This video summarises the differences between the two software applications and gives an example of each.
