7. UI flows
automating legacy apps
Power Automate helps organizations move legacy apps into
the modern world by offering robotic process automation
(RPA). With the new RPA capability, you can streamline how
you work by recording mouse clicks, keyboard use, and data
entry and automate the replay of the steps to be included in
more complex process automations
Robotic process automation allows for
automation without APIs or connectors

15. • A bot is a computer program that conducts a text conversation with
your customers to direct them to what they need quickly without
requiring your human agents to intervene.
• Bots are a great way to answer simple, repetitive questions from your
customers and to help them do repeatable tasks like find out how to
return an item.
• Bots save your agents time (and your company money) by freeing
agents to focus on more complex problem-solving and handle more
valuable customer interactions.
16. ▪ Bots are hard to create and expensive to maintain
▪ There is impedance between the subject matter
experts with answers—and the developers and
scientists who create bots
▪ Bots aren’t useful unless they can integrate with
the backend and provide personalized answers
