What is Using Power Automate with Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook is the most widely used email application in businesses. Users not only use it for sending and receiving email, but they also use it for managing their individual contacts and managing their daily activities. This provides many different opportunities where Power Automate could potentially be used to automate Outlook scenarios. For example, a real estate agent might create and store customer contracts in popular document services such as Dropbox, OneDrive, or SharePoint. Once a customer contract is created, a Power Automate flow could automatically create an email to the customer and attach the newly created contracts as attachments. Additionally, once the customer sends back the signed contract, another flow could save the signed contracts back to the document repository. This helps the real estate agent ensure that contracts are being sent out and cataloged in a timely manner, and there are no manual steps the agent needs to take.

In most organizations, two popular connectors are used for email flows regularly: the Outlook.com for personal email scenarios and the Office 365 Outlook connector for business scenarios. Both connectors offer similar operations that you can use to manage your mail, calendars, and contacts. You can perform actions such as send mail, schedule meetings, add contacts, and more with either of these connectors.
