The Power CAT Automation Kit for Power Platform supports an automation CoE. The kit provides a set of templates and tools beyond the core Admin controls in the product for organizations to customize how they roll out and manage Power Platform Automation solutions.
The Automation Kit is an open-source project made available via GitHub, built on top of Power Platform, but not coupled with Core Engineering platform investments. This kit relies on Power Automate, Power Apps and Dataverse. These core components require customers who choose to implement the kit to have premium Power Platform licenses. The kit provides with users with the the following artifacts:
- The canvas app "Automation Project" to support a way to request and submit automation projects for approval.
- The model driven app "Automation Center" to support the creation and maintenance of automation assets like master data records, mapping resources, environments and assigning roles to employees.
- Near realtime cloud flows that sync data from satellite environments to the main environment using Dataverse tables. Data is also stored locally (in the satellite environment) and synced with main in near realtime.
- Power BI dashboard to provide insights and monitor your automation assets.
The Automation Kit Learning Guide includes instructions and setup guidance for the Automation Kit.
The Walkthrough guide includes videos that cover prerequisite setup, main and satellite solution setup, configuration data setup. It also includes how to guides on end to end Automation Project setup and the Flow Exception Framework setup.
The Automation Kit GitHub Repo contains the source, releases, issues and backlog items of all components that are part of the Automation Kit.
The latest shipped version is available via Releases. From there, you can download the latest version of all managed solutions that have been tested and are ready for use.
