@pro.glitch: 5 automations to build at work, on the Microsoft 365 or Google plan you already have Five automations to build at work this week in Microsoft 365 (Power Automate, Teams, Outlook, Planner) or Google Workspace, on the plan your company already pays for. Three of them don't need any AI. 1. Approval router: a purchase request goes to the right approver as a Teams approval card, with a nudge after a day. Power Automate approvals time out silently after 30 days, so build your own expiry and a backup approver. 2. New hire launcher: one row becomes a dated onboarding checklist in Planner with an owner on every task, plus a welcome email draft. 3. Renewal radar: AI reads each contract and pulls the renewal date, notice deadline and price into a tracker. A 60-day warning goes out, and a person decides. 4. Meeting prep brief: 15 minutes before a meeting, a one-page brief from your recent emails. Read-only. Google Workspace Studio has a starter built for this. 5. Monday overdue sweep: every owner gets one message with their overdue tasks. What it costs: plain flows with standard connectors are included in Microsoft 365. AI steps run on Copilot Credits (since November 1). Before you build, ask IT three things: can I use Power Automate or Workspace Studio, are Outlook, Teams and SharePoint allowed together in our data policy (DLP), and do we have Copilot Credits? The small stuff runs on its own. Money, customers and decisions wait for a person. Next month I'm dropping a full Microsoft Copilot course inside my community, plus eight courses from complete beginner. Check my profile. #aiautomation #microsoft365 #copilot #aiagents #aiemployee
