About

Hello and welcome!

My name is Tom and I live in the Czech Republic. I’ve been automating business processes on the Microsoft SharePoint platform for almost 10 years, currently as a freelance consultant.

I believe that everyone can automate part of their work with the Power Automate platform. You can achieve a lot by “clicking” the flows in the designer, but you can achieve much more if you add a bit of coding knowledge. And that’s what this blog is about.

To make the step from no-code Power Automate flows to low-code flows: using basic coding knowledge to build more complex yet more efficient flows to automate more of your daily tasks.
