In addition to Power Automate licensing, this chapter will use the following software and applications:

If you have a Microsoft 365 trial tenant, you can download an evaluation version of Microsoft 365 Apps from the landing page.
The Microsoft data gateway, like Power Automate Desktop, is available at no charge from inside the Power Automate...
