In this 13-minute citizen developer-focused demo, developer Dennis Goedegebuure shows how to mention a bot in a flow from Teams.

A bot from a Power Automate flow is an automated process that can be triggered by certain events or conditions. This type of bot helps to streamline processes and automate tasks, allowing for more efficient use of time and resources. Examples of bots in Power Automate flows include chatbots, virtual assistants, workflow automation bots, sentiment analysis bots, data extraction bots and more.

Bots can be used to help with customer service inquiries, scheduling appointments or providing information about products or services. They can also be used to support compliance workflows such as archiving documents or managing user access permissions.
