How far can Power Automate go?
Hello All, When I'm reading the solutions that Power Automate can solve they seem to be small problems but applied in large organisations so that the small efficiency applied on a huge scale is e...
Hi Donal,
Thanks for your help with this. Tech isn't my thing so I need someone like yourself to hold my hand through this, metaphorically speaking of course.
So, in short, you think this is possible?
That's great news because I've begun watching YouTube videos on how to use Power Apps but my main concern is that I fall down the rabbit-hole of this and then find out in 6 weeks time that it's not possible.
One of my main concerns is can Forms and the other basic apps handle the amount of information required in this type of process? As previously mentioned, many of the examples given that demonstrate automation are for basic processes such as a staff survey with half a dozen questions. What I'm looking to do dwarfs that but in my mind it is possible and worth the effort.
Any ideas on what I should do next? Should I get Power Apps? Explore what the dataverse is?
Thanks again
John

JohnHollis I think you should explore Dataverse. Yes, you will have to learn, but it I think it will be worth it for your business. Effectively, you can build a CRM for very cheap.
I think your main challange here will be getting the data in. I have barely used Forms and when I went to look at it there, it see`that is being rebranded to Dynamics 365 Cutomer Voice - which means it may have a Dynamics dependency. Transition from Forms Pro | Microsoft Docs
Donal McCarthy Customer Voice is the old Forms Pro and is a totally separate product now from standard Forms.
