Pia's AI Automation Builder lets you design, test, and deploy automations from inside VS Code. In this walkthrough, Ranju Manandhar, Product Delivery Lead at Pia, covers the full path, from setup to a working automation running live for a client.
In this video:
- Setting up the Pia Source VS Code extension and connecting it to your tenant with an API key from the partner portal
- Installing GitHub Copilot and choosing between the Free and Pro plans
- Building a SmartForms automation from one plain-language prompt, so clients can request an Office 365 user and license report by email
- How the builder checks your sandbox for reusable assets, then generates the package and a workflow diagram
- Pushing to a sandbox, promoting to live, and feeding validation errors back into the chat to get them fixed
- Configuring the automation for a client, including the sender address with mail send permission
- Submitting the SmartForm and confirming the report arrives
