Audience

Suitable teams

This programme is suitable for any business team that handles repetitive, rule-based or time-consuming workflows that could potentially be automated. You do not need a technical background — you need a real workflow that takes time every week and follows a predictable pattern. If your team has processes that involve copying data between systems, sending routine notifications, generating recurring reports, or routing requests for approval, this training is for you.

Operations teams

Handle repetitive processes — data entry, routing, status updates, report generation — that take time away from higher-value work.

Administration teams

Manage form processing, approval routing, document handling and notifications that follow predictable patterns.

Sales teams

Spend time on lead capture, CRM updates, follow-up reminders and qualification tasks that could be partially automated.

Marketing teams

Manage campaign workflows, data collection, reporting and content distribution across multiple platforms.

HR teams

Process onboarding requests, leave applications, policy enquiries and documentation workflows that follow consistent rules.

Customer service teams

Handle enquiry classification, ticket routing, response drafting and status tracking that could benefit from automation.

Finance and reporting teams

Compile reports, process transactions, format data and distribute financial information on recurring schedules.

Management and business process teams

Need to identify automation opportunities across departments and ensure automations are governed, tested and maintained.

Is your team a good fit?

If your team spends time on tasks that follow the same steps every time — moving data between systems, sending the same types of notifications, producing the same reports on a schedule, or routing the same kinds of requests — then business process automation training can help. The programme is particularly relevant for organisations that want to reduce manual work without removing human oversight of important decisions.

Practical examples

Workflows participants can automate

Below are practical examples of the types of workflows participants learn to identify and automate during the programme. These are starting points — the specific workflows each participant builds are drawn from their own organisation. Every automation should include appropriate human review and approval where the action has business impact.

Form submission to notification

Form submission → data processing → notification

Capture form responses, validate and process the data, and notify the right team member automatically.

Email to spreadsheet or database

Email → information extraction → spreadsheet/database

Extract key information from incoming emails and append it to a structured record for tracking and reporting.

Lead capture to sales notification

Lead capture → CRM update → sales notification

Capture leads from web forms or ads, update the CRM, and alert the relevant sales team member in real time.

Customer enquiry to assignment

Customer enquiry → classification → assignment

Classify incoming enquiries by topic or urgency and route them to the appropriate team or individual.

Report generation to distribution

Report generation → formatting → email distribution

Gather data on a schedule, format it into a report, and distribute it to stakeholders via email automatically.

Approval request to status update

Approval request → manager notification → status update

Route approval requests to the right manager, capture the decision, and update the requesting system with the outcome.

Document processing to record creation

Document processing → data extraction → record creation

Extract structured data from documents and create records in your business systems without manual data entry.

Scheduled data collection to reporting

Scheduled data collection → processing → reporting

Automatically collect data from multiple sources on a schedule, process it, and produce a consolidated report.

Important: Automation does not mean removing human judgement. The programme teaches participants to design workflows where routine work is automated but approval, review and escalation remain firmly in human hands where required.

What you learn

Curriculum

Programme schedule

A structured three-day curriculum. The programme can be delivered as a 1-day introductory workshop, a 2-day practical programme, or the full 3-day comprehensive programme below. The schedule is flexible and can be adapted for different organisations, team sizes and capability levels. See also our vibe coding training and AI agent training for complementary programmes.

Day 1Automation fundamentals

  • Understanding business process automation

    What automation is, where it creates value, and where human judgement must remain.

  • Identifying automation opportunities

    How to evaluate which workflows are good candidates and which are not.

  • Workflow mapping

    Map a real workflow from your organisation — triggers, steps, decision points and outputs.

  • Introduction to Microsoft Power Automate

    Hands-on setup and first workflow: triggers, actions, connections and data flow.

Day 2Building practical automations

  • Triggers and actions

    Configure triggers from email, forms, schedules and webhooks; chain actions to build multi-step workflows.

  • Data transformation

    Transform, filter and format data as it moves between applications.

  • APIs and webhooks

    Connect to external services via APIs and webhooks; understand authentication and data formats.

  • Connecting business applications

    Integrate tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, spreadsheets and CRM systems.

  • Building practical workflows

    Extended build session: participants build an automation for their own team’s workflow.

Day 3Governance and deployment

  • Error handling

    Design workflows that fail gracefully — retries, notifications and fallbacks.

  • Testing and monitoring

    Test workflows before production; set up monitoring to catch problems early.

  • Human approval controls

    Add approval checkpoints so humans review and approve before sensitive actions are taken.

  • Data handling

    Data minimisation, retention and protection in automated workflows.

  • Security and governance

    Credential management, access control, auditability and alignment with organisational policies.

  • Building a final workflow

    Participants build, test and present a complete automation project with governance built in.

Timings and session order may be adapted to suit your organisation’s priorities and participant experience. Modules can be delivered on non-consecutive days if needed.

Ecosystem

Tools and licensing

The programme is built around Microsoft Power Automate, a powerful workflow automation platform that connects to hundreds of business applications and services. Microsoft Power Automate integrates natively with Microsoft 365 and can be used via the cloud, giving organisations a scalable, governed automation environment. Participants learn to build workflows in Microsoft Power Automate and connect it to the tools their organisation already uses.

Microsoft Copilot

AI assistant for Microsoft 365. Helps with documents, email, meetings, presentations, data analysis and productivity workflows. Central to the AI productivity and automation training.

Microsoft Power Automate

Core workflow automation platform used throughout the programme. Supports visual workflow building, API connections, Microsoft 365 integration and AI-powered automation.

Google Workspace

Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Drive and Google Calendar integrations for workflow automation.

Microsoft 365

Outlook, SharePoint, Teams and Excel integrations for organisations using the Microsoft ecosystem.

Email (SMTP / IMAP)

Send and receive email programmatically as part of automated workflows.

Webhooks

Real-time triggers that connect external systems and applications to Microsoft Power Automate workflows.

APIs

Connect to virtually any service that exposes an API — CRM, ERP, project management, billing and more.

Spreadsheets

Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel as data sources, destinations and lightweight databases.

CRM systems

HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho and other CRM platforms for lead and customer workflow automation.

Databases

PostgreSQL, MySQL and other databases for storing and retrieving workflow data.

AI services

OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI services for adding intelligence — classification, extraction, summarisation — to automated workflows.

Licensing and costs

The training programme covers how to use these tools. However, software subscriptions, API usage, hosting, paid integrations or third-party licences may be separate costs depending on your organisation’s setup. For example, Microsoft Power Automate is included with many Microsoft 365 plans, while premium connectors and attended RPA features carry additional licensing costs. Premium CRM plans and some API services carry their own subscription fees. We clarify what is included in the training environment during pre-programme scoping.

Contact us to confirm what is included in the standard training price versus what may incur additional costs for your setup.

Responsibility

Data handling and governance

Automated workflows often touch sensitive business data — customer information, employee records, financial data. The programme covers how to handle this responsibly, using practical business language rather than overly technical jargon. We do not provide legal advice. Where data protection is relevant, we advise organisations to align implementation with their internal policies and applicable Malaysian data protection requirements.

Personal data protection

Handle personal data in automated workflows carefully. Align implementation with your organisation’s internal policies and applicable Malaysian data protection requirements.

Access control

Restrict who can create, edit and run workflows. Not everyone should have access to production automations.

Least-privilege access

Grant workflows and credentials only the access they need — nothing more. Avoid broad permissions that create unnecessary risk.

Secure credentials

Store API keys, passwords and connection details securely. Never hard-code secrets in workflows or share them openly.

API key protection

Rotate keys regularly, use environment variables where possible, and revoke access when it is no longer needed.

Data minimisation

Only collect, process and store the data your workflow actually needs. Do not over-capture sensitive information.

Data retention

Define how long workflow data is kept and ensure automated processes do not retain data longer than necessary.

Auditability

Log workflow executions, inputs, outputs and errors so every automated action can be traced and reviewed.

Human approval

Design approval checkpoints for sensitive or high-impact actions. Automation should assist humans, not replace their judgement where it matters.

Error handling

Build workflows that catch errors, notify the right people, and fail safely rather than silently producing wrong results.

Testing before production

Test workflows with sample data before deploying them to live business processes. Never automate in production without verification.

Monitoring and maintenance

Automations need ongoing attention. Set up monitoring, review performance regularly, and update workflows as business processes change.
