+# Send a card automatically with a flow (preview)
+
+[!INCLUDE[cards_preview_notice](../includes/preview-include.md)]
+
+Use Power Automate to send cards. By setting up a flow that is triggered by an event, you can automate the process of sending cards. For instance, you can create a flow that requests the assigned individual to approve or reject an expense when a new record is added to Dataverse. Additionally, you can create a flow that sends a daily status update every morning.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Power Automate](https://make.powerautomate.com) account
+- Create a [card](../tutorials/hello-world-card.md)
+- The [Power Apps Teams app](send-card-in-teams.md#add-power-apps-to-teams) installed in the chat, group chat, or channel that the card will be sent to
+
+## Cards for Power Apps connector
+
+The **Cards for Power Apps** connector is used to get or create instances of cards to send using a flow. The connector has no triggers and three actions:
+
+- **Create card instance** - Enables the user to select a specific card to create an instance of with customizable input variables. Returns the card instance as `card` dynamic content.
+- **Get the card instance** - Returns a card instance when given a user-specified card and a card instance id as `card` dynamic content.
+- **Get the card description** - Returns information about a user-specified card, including the id, environmentId, name, description, author, etc.

+
+## Send card in Teams using the Teams connector
+
+Sending a card in Teams requires a card instance. To get a card instance, use the **Cards for Power Apps** connector actions. The **Create card instance** action has `card` dynamic content and the **Get the card instance** action has `body` dynamic content that can be used with the **Teams** connector **Post card in a chat or channel** action.
+
+1. Create or modify an existing flow
+1. Make sure the flow has a trigger. In the example screenshot below, the trigger is when a new account record is created.
+1. Create or get the card instance you want to send using the **Cards for Power Apps** connector. In the example screenshot, we created a card instance of the `Account Card` and setting the `Body` input variable to the `Account Name` of the newly created account record. 
+1. Add an action to **Post card in a chat or channel** using the **Teams** connector.
+1. On the action, set **Post as** to `Power Apps (Preview)`.
+1. On the action, set **Post in**, **Team** & **Channel**, or **Group chat** to the conversation you want to send the card in. In the example screenshot, this is to the `Cards for Power Apps (Customer Channel)` Teams in the `General` channel.
+1. On the action, set **Card** to the `card` or `body` dynamic content from the **Cards for Power Apps** connector action you added earlier.
+
+   :::image type="content" source="../media/send-a-card/card-in-flow-example.png" alt-text="Screenshot a flow that creates a card instance when an account record is created and sends it in Teams.":::
+
+
+## Common issues and resolutions
+
+1. When you select a card from the drop-down to create a card instance, the connector action can sometimes show the error **GetCardDescription failed with InternalServerError**. This is a transient error, you need to try again and reselect a card. 
+
+2. If your card doesn't have any input variables, it will show an empty body parameter after selecting a card to create an instance of. You can ignore that parameter and continue building your flow.
