By integrating Power Apps from Microsoft within your digital workspace or intranet, you have the ability to automate and simplify business processes. With the Power Apps from Microsoft ‘everyone’ within an organization can easily create apps to automate business processes. Today I will show you how to integrate these Power Apps within your digital workspace.
What is Microsoft Power Apps?
Power Apps is part of the no- / low code platform of Microsoft. You can use Power Apps to develop applications to automate processes such as cost declarations, work clothing requests or leave requests.
Within the Power Apps platform, there are templates available to quickly create an application. Another option is to create an application from scratch. For people who do have some IT knowledge, it is easy to create links to other systems and to send data to other programs. View the prices of Microsoft Power Apps.
For whom are the Power Apps?
When you are handy with computers and software it is already possible to create a simple application. As an HR or Communication Manager, you can work out your idea for apps and create them quickly. For developers with knowledge of APIs, it is a nice system to create applications for a digital workspace or intranet. Are the costs for Power Apps too high? Take a look at the Micro Apps from Workspace 365.
What does a Power App look like in your digital workspace?
For our organisation, we have made a Declaration app. Anyone within our organisation can submit a claim via a tile within the adaptive workspace, Workspace 365. After the declaration is submitted, there is a flow behind it for the team leader to approve the declaration and it is then automatically transferred to our accounting system.
