| More Information |

Can't find a workflow template that matches what you need in Microsoft Teams? You will now be able to describe in detail how you want your automation to work and receive a workflow to match your needs. All you need to do is select the Workflow builder button at the bottom of the create dialog in the Workflows app in Microsoft Teams chat and channel overflow menu. Workflow builder will come to the Workflows app in Microsoft Teams chat and channel overflow menu first. Other entry points to Workflows will get this feature later. When this will happen:Worldwide: We will begin rolling out late September 2024 (previously mid-September) and expect to complete by late October 2024 (previously late September). GCC Release: We will begin rolling out early October 2024 (previously mid-August) and expect to be complete by late October 2024 (previously mid-October). How this will affect your organization:All users with the ability to create workflows with the Workflows app in Teams will be able to describe the workflow they are trying to build and then receive a suggested flow. Prerequisites A work or school Teams account with access to a Power Automate environment in Europe or the United States. Limitations Power Automate supports workflow descriptions written in the English language only. Descriptions written in other languages might work but are not supported. Cloud flows are the only type of flow that you can create from a written description. In the version rolling out, the AI might omit some parameters, even if you provide them in the description. What you need to do to prepare:No action is needed to prepare for this rollout. If your tenant uses the Power Automate app within Microsoft Teams, you may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate. |
