Handel10 for workflows you need to get familiar with Power Automate. It's brilliant for doing automation and linking up the Office 365 apps. You also need to get to grips with JSON so you can do buttons that trigger flows from lists. And Power Apps customised forms in SharePoint give you so many options for buttons, triggering flows, designing forms etc. Our entire IT ticketing system (for 65000 staff!) is built on Forms, Power Automate, SharePoint, customised forms and Outlook.

RobElliottThank you.
Can you integrate Sharepoint online with db2 (as400) or do you need to integrate with Sharepoint on premise?

Handel10 I'm not sure what you mean by integrate but if you are looking to move database content into SharePoint Online there are no conectors for DB2 in Power Automate, and although you can set up a gateway to on-premise servers it's not something I would normally want to do - we're migrating everything off SharePoint 2010 into SharePoint Online.
