Creating a Basic Copy flow using Power Automate Templates

A good way to get started is to use a template that is suited to your organization’s scenario. You can choose from a collection of templates to find the one that best matches your scenario. Search all templates or browse by category to find your scenario, and then follow the steps in the template to create a cloud flow from the template.

You can tweak templates by adding, editing, or removing triggers and actions to create your own flows. You can copy paste actions in the same flow or across flows to speed up the your tweaks.
