Hey everyone 👋

Just dropped a new post that walks through real, no-code automation you can start using in SharePoint today – all without touching Power Automate.

Here are the first three I cover in the article:

1️⃣ The Automate menu: Hit it from the command bar on any file—quick actions like copying to another folder or drafting emails, plus rules that trigger on events.

2️⃣ Request sign-off: Right-click a file → send an approval email that updates status automatically once approvers hit Approve/Reject.

3️⃣ Document sets: Pre-built folders loaded with templates, shared metadata, and required fields—ideal for projects or proposals where everything needs to start consistent and complete.

Here’s the full post: https://intranetfromthetrenches.substack.com/p/automation-in-sharepoint-beyond-power-automate

Which of these have you already tried, and what’s one manual task you’re still doing in SharePoint? Let me know below – always happy to share the native workaround if it exists.

@wuebbsy Das ist sicher auch ein Effekt von Corona, denn ohne die Pandemie würden heute noch viele die Arbeit vom Home-Office als Unmöglichkeit abtun. Dennoch #ModernWork spielt da absolut rein.

🤔 What is my “why?”

Too many people “suffer” their way through their careers unnecessarily, when I believe every person should have a rewarding and impactful career that lets them make their unique and important mark on the world.

I also believe that leaders and workplaces have a shared responsibility with employees to create conditions for that to happen.

I give a talk on the Modern Work experience & establishing a roadmap for evolving employee productivity & work/life balance. This summarizes many key elements. (Although it's missing a big one)
