Microsoft has a tool in preview called "Flow" - you should check it out: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/ in theory this tool will eventually roll out to Office 365 users and be an end-user option for creating simple workflow and systems integration beyond the SharePoint workflow platform. For example, maybe you want a Tweet to be logged in CRM then have a task show up in Slack - Flow might be a solution here.

But, how does it work? How easy is it to use? Is this a replacement for SharePoint Workflow? Is this a potential enterprise tool that will put Nintex or K2 out of business?

In initial research, lots of the Portland SharePoint community had trouble getting their Flow to work correctly, but there must be some way to do it! Let's uncover these things together. At this casual meeting we'll be doing group R&D around Flow. Bring your laptop and sign up for the Flow trial.

This meeting is a panel discussion about Office 365 deployments and lessons learned. What went right? What would you do differently?

Details about the panel discussion are here: https://www.meetup.com/Portland-SharePoint-User-Group/events/237742875/

Please register for the event on Meetup.

The Portland Nintex User Group meets quarterly to talk about the Nintex product. Nintex is a 3rd party tool for Microsoft SharePoint & Office 365 that allows for complex business process automation.

Schnitzer Steel Industries has adopted Nintex to enhance primarily HR processes such as employee onboarding, offboarding, performance, discipline, wellness, and surveys as well as other processes throughout the company, including compliance, auto and metal recycling, and point of sale-generated alert management. David Dean, SharePoint/Office 365 Architect, will be discussing our benefits utilizing Nintex for HR processes and demo previews of HR processes and highlight some tips and tricks that Nintex provides to make it a flexible tool for HR business requirements as well as get a glimpse of Nintex Hawkeye data. This presentation is designed for a mixed audience of IT and HR professionals who may be interested in these type of processes and capabilities utilizing Nintex.

This event is targeted to IT professionals and HR Managers who are seeking to reduce HR costs or increase HR compliance through automation.

SharePoint 2013 introduced many enhancements to the web-based APIs, in fact most of the functionality that is surfaced in the browser is utilizing these APIs under the hood. This workshop will dive into some possibilities for calling these APIs from JavaScript/JQuery. Example: viewing/inserting/editing list items, checking membership of a permission group, viewing user profile data, or starting a workflow.

Audience Level: Medium-to-Advanced Developer

Speaker: Bob Anderson, SharePoint Team Lead at Mentor Graphics
