Power Automate
Consulting Services

The cost of Power Automate varies based on your usage scenarios. We will review how you intend on automating your processes and make recommendations to minimize all costs. You can read more about Power Automate licensing here.

This depends on the complexity of what is being built as well as your overall technical comfort. Some business automation tasks require custom connectors while other can be very straight-forward. We will go over your ongoing support options with you at the beginning of the engagement.

Aside an Office 365 license that supports your Microsoft Flows, you will need to start with your overall business requirements. We can lead those conversations or if you already have them, great! If you Microsoft Flow is going to connect to other applications, we will also need credentials to access them.

We have seen Power Automate that can reduce days of work over the course of a year. Others may only save a minute or two, but it can also help assure those tasks are indeed getting done and not stuck in some bottleneck due to someone being sick or on vacation.

With eSoftware, you get the experiences of our whole team when working on your business automation initiatives. This means that your Flows are getting the knowledge and best practices from several dozen people instead of just one person.

The four pillars of Power Automate are:

Trigger: The event that starts or initiates a flow (such as a new file being uploaded or a form being submitted).

Action: The steps the flow takes after it is triggered (for example, sending an email, updating a database, or creating a record).

Condition: Logic within a flow to determine what should happen next, often based on data or user input (like “if/then” statements).

Connector: Integrations that link Power Automate to different services, apps, or data sources—whether 

inside or outside the Microsoft ecosystem.

These pillars are the foundation for creating robust, scalable, and flexible automations tailored to your business needs.

Every Power Automate flow consists of:

Trigger: This is what starts the flow—an event, schedule, or user action.

Actions: The tasks or operations that occur once the trigger is activated, such as sending notifications, processing data, or updating records.

By combining triggers and actions, Power Automate enables you to automate a wide variety of business processes.
