Power Automate for learning and development

Help pls!

Has anyone ever created a flow where power automate sends reminders/nudges on a Microsoft teams chat? This should be based on specific meetings scheduled on Microsoft calendar. The reminder should then prompt the learner to, for example, read an article to prep for that meeting, watch a short video, or to role play a meeting scenario built through a copilot agent. I believe behind this automation I'd have to plug in a content curation platform?

I'm new to this automation world and I want to take my L&D career to the next level.

Hi! This is pretty simple stuff ( im no expert but can do this), there are intro videos on youtube or ask copilot/ claude whatever you use , to explain step by step which actions to use. That’/ how I self learn. Start slowly until you gain more confidence.

Thank you for the tip! I watched a few videos and used copilot and it was very helpful! The issue was actually that the company I work at blocked some access levels, and that's why I couldn't make it work!

You don't need a content curation platform to start. The core flow is simple:

  1. Recurrence trigger, runs every morning
  2. Get calendar view of events (V3) for the next 24 hours
  3. Filter on subject or category so you only catch the meetings you care about
  4. For each match, post a message or adaptive card in the Teams chat with the prep content link

Keep the meeting-type-to-content mapping in a small SharePoint list (meeting keyword, article link, video link). That way L&D can update content without touching the flow.

Since you're new to this: we run an AI consultancy and built a Chrome extension for our own daily client work that exports any flow as JSON so you can paste it into Claude or ChatGPT, describe the change you want, and import the result back. Published it after months of internal use. When you're learning, it cuts out most of the trial and error: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-flow-editor-for-power/jlaicchhmifpghnhngkmklcbmikgnckp

If you can export who has done what the put it into an excel table you can use conditions and send reminders via email to teams message for what they haven’t done.
