Course Overview
Learn Power Virtual Agents to create bots, Power Automate to automate processes and Power Apps to build internal apps!
This course gives a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate & Power Apps as well as touching on Power BI at a very high level. (Power BI is covered on a separate course I am currently building out).
The course is built around a process that I used to manually complete for a previous employer where we will build a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to track tasks on houses that are being built (store the data on SharePoint for simplicity) and then utilize Power Virtual Agents to show users how to enable the bots (within Microsoft Teams) to point users to the location of documents that may be scattered across different SharePoint sites such as loan documents, budgets and sales contracts (in the course of example). I see a huge use for these bots within HR & IT teams specifically to handle repetitive questions.
I then show you can set up simple flows in Power Automate to save down attachments from specific senders (in the course example - saving down the attachments of the inspections the bank has organized of the units) as well as some other simple flows saving data from Microsoft Forms again on SharePoint & building out fully automated processes using the approvals app within Microsoft Teams.
Once the app, bot & flow are complete, the final step is then creating a simple Power BI report and utilizing Power Automate to send a snapshot of the table with the latest tasks completed every 2 weeks to a specific sender (the bank in this example) requesting a draw with the date the tasks were completed and the budget amounts of those tasks (all collected in the app).
Finally, this course is very high level, and I suggest to all learners to utilize ChatGPT for the more technical stuff such as the coding element/formula in a Power Apps, but this is covered on the course where I demonstrate how to utilize ChatGPT to the best of it's ability to help with the formula in Power Apps.

I recently undertook this course on the Microsoft Power Platform, I had been using Power BI but was keen to learn additional ways that I could integrate other automated systems that allowed me to save time on repetitive tasks. Shaun gave a great overview on Power Automate and gave me some ideas on how I could apply this to my own repetitive daily tasks allowing me more time to focus on the added value tasks. Overall the course was well structured, easy to follow throughout and engaging. I will keep an eye out in the future for more courses by Shaun.

I recently completed the "Power Apps - Data Sources & Budget Builder Logo" course on Udemy, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The course is exceptionally well-structured and covers a comprehensive range of topics essential for mastering Power Apps. From understanding data sources to building a functional budget builder, every module is packed with valuable insights and practical knowledge. The instructor breaks down complex concepts into easily digestible segments, making it suitable for both beginners and those looking to enhance their existing skills.
