Module 2 - Creating a HTML5 email using a free, no-code solution

An interactive dive into creating a html5 emails without using any code

Module 3 - Integrating HTML5 emails with Power Automate

Learn how to integrate HTML5 emails with Forms, and Power Automate content, and then save those automated emails as individual files in a dedicated Teams folder.

How do people put what they've learned into practice?

Deserunt quo porro deleniti. In omnis sed aut ducimus et. Consequuntur quo placeat.

Example 1 -  Feedback survey

Simple Foundry is incredibly proud to be supported by the Prince's Trust. As a proof of concept for the type of solutions it could provide, it created an updated feedback form to show how visually effective an 'on-brand' survey could be.

Example 2 - Display Screen Equipment (Self Assessment)

A multi-site organisation, encompassing several divisions, required an initial DSE self-assessment to be completed by every relevant staff member. Although a paper copy existed, the irony of not completing a DSE assessment, on a digital device wasn't lost on the manager who set the activity up! Combined with an introductory video (which explained DSE), users then completed the form.

This example was heavily linked to further Power Automate solutions, including: automatically storing any attached images/files in a dedicated location, email summary for every completed DSE form to relevant line (& functional) management, and automatically filling in response data into a local site Excel spreadsheet, and a national tracker (simultaneously) for further analysis and subsequent targeted initiatives.

The automated emails (with form response/summaries in) were then individually saved in a dedicated Teams folder, acting as a timestamped record for that individual, creating a clear audit trail.

Example 3 - Hazard, Near Miss, & Incident Report

Two single site & multi-site organisations required an updated digital report form for hazards, near misses, and incidents. This form was designed to be completed by anybody in the organisation (with an email address), and provided critical (and insightful) information into what had happened. It was successfully rolled out with the support of a wider training and engagement program, and this form led to significant high-quality form submissions, where the attached images were used as benchmark 'before' examples to prove tangible change had occurred.

This example was heavily linked to further Power Automate solutions, including: automatically storing any attached images/files in a dedicated location, email summary for every completed report form to relevant line (& functional) management, and automatically filling in response data into a local site Excel spreadsheet, and a national tracker (simultaneously) for further analysis and subsequent targeted initiatives.

The automated report emails (with attachments, and report content in) were then individually saved in a dedicated Teams folder, acting as a timestamped record for that particular event, creating a clear audit trail.
