Power Automate Framework

A production-ready template that builds in design standards and best practices for Microsoft Power Automate—so you deploy automations faster, more effortlessly, and in a more scalable manner.

What is Power Automate Framework?

The Power Automate Framework (PAF) is a reusable starter template for building robust, reliable, and scalable desktop flows in Microsoft Power Automate. If you know UiPath’s Robotic Enterprise Framework (REFramework), PAF is the Power Automate equivalent—adapted to Microsoft’s Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platform.

Why teams use PAF:

Accelerated delivery: start from a tried-and-tested blueprint, not a blank canvas
Improved productivity: shared components reduce duplicate logic and ensures reusability
Promotes standardization: Standardize the development framework across all automation use cases
Ensures quality: Seamless incorporate design standards and automation best practices
Facilitates conversion: Assists in the migration of UiPath scripts to Power Automate
