Discover how robotic process automation uses software robots to automate repetitive document processing tasks, extract data, and integrate with APIs, forms, emails, and web data.
Explore how to create, name, edit, and run automations in Power Automate Desktop, use the recorder and tools, and adjust execution and view options.
Explore the action library in Power Automate Desktop, learning action types and how to search by type or keyword. Each action has properties that define its setup for automating tasks.
Step through actions to debug automation, use breakpoints to pause before an action, and run from a chosen point to observe behavior, including message boxes.
Explore how to use the recorder in Power Automate Desktop to automate the Windows calculator, capturing desktop actions and generating automated steps that run on web and desktop environments.
Finish the automation by saving and closing the Excel file, then closing Google's web browser after processing all loan applications, and verify the automation completes successfully.
Build an Outlook automation that sorts emails into Microsoft, eBay, and Amazon folders based on subject keywords, then sends a completion notification.
Iterate through Outlook emails using a for loop in Power Automate Desktop to extract sender, subject, and body data from each message and manage read/unread status.
Power Automate Desktop users can boost automation speed by reducing run delay, disabling page-load waits, and using faster typing modes for web page text fields.
Extract text from each pdf file by looping through items, using the extract text from pdf action, and storing the results in a variable for verification.

Welcome to the Power Automate Desktop- Essentials RPA Training Course, where you will learn how to develop RPA automations with Power Automate Desktop, Microsoft RPA Tool, from scratch!
We start off by learning what RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is, installing and setting up Power Automate Desktop on our machine and then building our first automation. Then we will explore Power Automate Desktop, learning about the user interface to get a basic understanding. Once we cover all the basics, like variables, UI elements, we then will take a deep dive into building 7 automations , covering different types of automations, like web automation, data extraction.
We will finish the course with a final project, where we will have a detailed overview about what the automation should do. The student will have the chance to solve the project. Then we will have the solutions in the last lecture!
In this course I will provide you with technical skills and automation demos that will allow you to more confidently create software robots including:
Learn what's RPA
Power Automate Desktop download and setup
Explore Power Automate Desktop
Understand the basics about automation development (variables, UI Elements)
Learn how to use the Recorder feature
Loops and conditions
Web Automation
Solve the famous RPA Challenge
Data extraction and data input
PDF Text Scraping
Email Automation
Excel Automation
Custom XPath and edit selectors
Control flow with conditions
Final project to practice what we have learned
By the end of this course you will be more confident using the computer to create software robots with the Power Automate Desktop RPA tool, from the more simplest automations, to even the more complex.
