What is Power Automate Desktop?

Wise Owl welcomes you to this lunchtime Webinar, where we’ll explore “What is Power Automate Desktop?” or PAD for short.

PAD is a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) application, which means it mimics human actions to perform tasks such as filling in web forms, moving documents, extracting data from databases, and sending emails.

It’s included in most standard Office 365 licences and comes preinstalled on Windows 11, ready to be used. Let us show you how!
