To complete the example in this topic, you'll need the following:
Access to Power Automate.
The Power Automate mobile app for Android, iOS, or Windows Phone on a supported device. The graphics in this topic reflect the iPhone version of the app, but the interface on an Android device or Windows Phone is similar.

Tap the Notifications service icon.
In the search bar, type boss, and then tap the template to send a push notification when you receive a message from your boss.
