Portland Power Platform Virtual Meetup

AMEY HOLDEN (Microsoft MVP) - Digitizing Application Processes with the Power Platform (without a Power Apps Portal in sight!)

Data entry from paper application forms with over 100 questions suck – for both the customer filling it in and also the user who has to re-type it into multiple disconnected systems. The potential solutions are endless – AI Builder, Portals, Web Forms the list goes on! But what about Customer Voice? (aka. Voice of the Customer/Forms Pro) you probably think of it as a survey tool. Technically it’s a “feedback management application” but who says I cant use it to digitize application processes? Along with the help of Power Automate & Model Driven Power Apps (XRM😉) let’s explore how we have used Customer Voice to create an efficient, yet delightfully low code solution to application processing that saves time for both user and customer alike

Ed Gonzales (flyingpolymath.com) - #EatLikeEd – An Intro to No Code, Natural Language Chatbots and finding good food PART 2

Last month, Ed showed us a powerful introduction into the world of natural language chatbots as we grab information from an HTTP call and use Power Virtual Agents to find a good place to eat. Turns out, JSON is no longer required with Power VA, Ed will show us an updated demo of this!

This session is perfect for the code-averse Office user looking to add some impressive functionality to existing processes, or even build an exciting new one using the methods covered.

After spending the last seventeen years in the Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution industries championing digital transformation and XRM Adoption, Ed recently joined a global firm as a Senior Solution Architect. He has also been focused on educating business-users in Microsoft’s Power Platform to accelerate their adoption of the tools. Awarded the Microsoft Business Applications MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer in late 2019, he can be found on Twitter (@PoweredByEdG) and on his blog at www.flyingpolymath.com.
