Hey, Power Automate Community fans!
We are very excited to announce that with the start of the Power Platform Community Super User Season 1 2021, we are welcoming some new members to the Power Automate Community Super User crew! This means that some non-Super User community members gained enough contribution points over the previous 6-month season to be sent an invitation to join the Super User program! This is very exciting news, as this means there are still a LOT of new folks coming to the community to learn about Power Automate while helping others do so as well! Seeing new Super Users also means there are more and more product users who are getting heavily involved with the online support community and this is a huge part of what it takes to keep our online support communities thriving! Click Here to learn more about the Power Platform Community Super User program!
Here are our Season 1 2021 Super Users!

Bio: My name is Tom and I'm located in the Czech Republic. I'm a freelance SharePoint consultant who's been automating business processes on SharePoint since version 2010, using 2010/2013 workflows, Nintex, and now Power Automate. During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, I was thinking if I can also help other people in a meaningful way. So, building on my work experience, I started a Power Automate related blog and joined the Power Automate community. And after these ~3 months in the community I have a feeling that it was a good decision: I already managed to help a few people and I learned a lot myself by solving their problems.
