Do any of you knowledgeable regarding Power Automate Flows? I’d like to automate several processes in my office.

I've built a few automations with it. It's pretty powerful. Usually the limitation is the external data sources and whether or not they have an API Power Automate can work with.

Most recently, I built a web scraper that scraped a client's competitor's website for their current prices for key items every day, then emailed those prices to him.

Understand that if you use the "Desktop" version, you have to have that computer on for it to run. There's a "cloud" version that is designed to run without a computer being on. If you're going to build something "mission critical" with it, I probably wouldn't use the desktop version.

I’d like to keep it cloud based, as much as possible I want to automate the collection and filing of documents attached to emails (AR/AP, mostly), among other things. I’d like to use the desktop app with manual triggers.
