MVP Insights: Barret Blake on Integrating Copilot with Power Automate

Dynamics Communities December 17, 2025 Video

Welcome to “MVP Insights,” a podcast that explores the universe, ideas, and opportunities of the brightest stars in the Microsoft business applications ecosystem. 

In episode 73, Pam Misialek hosts Barret Blake, Solutions Architect, NimblePros, Microsoft MVP, to discuss how he became an MVP, insights on current innovations, getting started with Copilot and Power Automate, and his experiences at the Community Summit North America 2025.

Key Takeaways

  • MVP journey: Blake’s MVP journey wasn’t something he was initially pursuing actively. He had written some blog posts, attended conferences, and spoken to user groups, but it wasn’t until others encouraged him to pursue being an MVP. With that encouragement, Barret focused more on the content he shared, which led to him being accepted as an MVP for Power Automate.
  • Top innovations: The obvious big push, Blake notes, is Copilot and AI. “I think one of the biggest advancements, especially around Power Automate and the Power Platform, is the integration with Copilot Studio and being able to create agents that are able to communicate back and forth with your Power Automate flows.” It’s beneficial for users to get involved with this technology now because the longer you wait to make it a part of your core business strategy, the further behind you’ll be down the road.
  • Start small: For those getting started with implementing Copilot with Power Automate, Blake recommends starting small and finding something that will benefit from this addition, such as creating a support agent. “Start with some small projects, figure out how best the two interact and how best you might be able to use these kinds of agents to make your people’s lives a little better, and then go from there.”
  • Summit experiences: At the recent Community Summit North America event, Blake spoke during a couple of sessions covering Copilot and Power Automate. “I really enjoy going down and meeting with people I don’t know in the job that I have right now,” he reports. Interacting with the community, learning from other speakers and sessions, and discovering what others are excited about are among the highlights of his Summit experience.
