SharePoint Workflows &
Automation Services
Most Irish businesses are running manual processes that Power Automate could handle automatically — chasing approvals by email, copying data between systems, updating spreadsheets by hand. Mata365 identifies your highest-impact automation opportunities and builds Power Automate flows that run reliably in the background, so your team focuses on work that actually needs human input.

Design & Configure
Design the Power Automate flow architecture for your highest-priority processes — defining triggers, conditions, actions, and approval logic — and build each flow in a development environment before it touches your live Microsoft 365 tenant.
Deploy & Optimise
Deploy Power Automate flows to your live environment in controlled phases, test each flow under real business conditions, monitor run history for errors, and optimise logic based on how the automation performs in practice — ensuring every flow runs reliably before handover.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Common questions about Power Automate and workflow automation — answered for Irish businesses looking to eliminate manual processes, automate approvals, and connect Microsoft 365 tools.
What business processes can Power Automate handle for an Irish business?
Power Automate can automate almost any repeatable business process that currently requires manual effort. The most common automations Mata365 builds for Irish businesses include document approval workflows — where a document submitted to SharePoint automatically routes to the right approver in Teams, sends a reminder if not actioned within a defined period, and updates a status tracker when approved or rejected. Staff onboarding and offboarding processes — where a new hire form submission triggers account creation notifications, SharePoint access provisioning, and a Teams welcome message simultaneously. Email triage and notification flows — where specific incoming emails trigger actions in SharePoint, Planner, or Teams without anyone reading and manually forwarding them. Data synchronisation — where a record updated in one system automatically updates the corresponding record in SharePoint, Excel, or a connected CRM. If a task in your Irish business involves copying information from one place to another, chasing someone for a response, or manually triggering a next step, it is a candidate for automation.
Do I need coding skills to use Power Automate in my Irish business?
No. Power Automate is a low-code platform — most flows are built using a visual drag-and-drop interface with pre-built connectors to Microsoft 365 apps and hundreds of third-party systems. Your team does not need to write code to trigger and use automated workflows. However, building flows that are reliable, well-structured, and maintainable under real business conditions requires experience with Power Automate’s logic, error handling, and connector behaviour. Flows built without proper design often break when edge cases arise or when Microsoft updates a connector. Mata365 builds Power Automate flows for Irish businesses that are properly structured, documented, and tested — so they run reliably without constant maintenance.
How long does it take to build a Power Automate workflow for an Irish business?
A straightforward single-trigger automation — such as sending a Teams notification when a SharePoint document is uploaded — can be built and tested in a few hours. A multi-step approval workflow with conditional logic, escalation rules, and error handling typically takes one to three days to design, build, test, and deploy correctly. A complex end-to-end process automation connecting Microsoft 365 to external systems may take one to two weeks. Mata365 provides a scoping estimate for every automation before work begins so your Irish business knows exactly what is involved and what the timeline looks like before any development starts.
Is Power Automate included in my Microsoft 365 licence for my Irish business?
Power Automate is included in Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard, and Premium plans — covering a significant range of automation capabilities including flows that connect Microsoft 365 apps such as SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and Forms. For flows that connect to premium connectors — including Salesforce, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, or custom APIs — a Power Automate Premium licence is required, which is an additional cost per user per month. Mata365 assesses your automation requirements against your current licence before recommending any additional spend, and identifies which automations can be built within your existing Microsoft 365 plan versus which require a premium licence upgrade.
What is the difference between Power Automate and SharePoint workflows?
SharePoint workflows were the legacy automation tool built into older versions of SharePoint — they are now deprecated and no longer supported by Microsoft. Power Automate is the current and future automation platform for Microsoft 365, offering significantly broader capability: it connects to over 1,400 apps and services, supports modern flow logic including conditions, loops, and parallel branches, integrates natively with Teams, Outlook, Power Apps, and Dataverse, and is maintained and updated by Microsoft continuously. Any Irish business still running SharePoint Designer workflows should plan to migrate them to Power Automate. Mata365 migrates legacy SharePoint workflows to Power Automate as part of our automation service for Irish businesses.
