Details:

Currently in public preview, Communication Compliance integration with Power Automate allows organizations to configure Power Automate flows to automate tasks for Communication Compliance cases and users. Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance provides the tools to help organizations detect regulatory compliance violations (e.g. SEC or FINRA), such as sensitive or confidential information, harassing or threatening language, and sharing of adult content. Built with privacy by design, usernames are pseudonymized by default, role-based access controls are built in, investigators are opted in by an admin, and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy. This item is no longer accurate and is being removed from the roadmap. We apologize for any inconvenience.

explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you have a large filing cabinet filled with important documents that need to be checked regularly for compliance with certain rules, like ensuring they don't contain sensitive information or inappropriate language. In the past, you might have had to manually sift through these documents, which is time-consuming and prone to human error.

Now, think of Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance as a smart assistant that helps you manage this task. It scans through the documents automatically and flags anything that might be a problem, such as confidential information or inappropriate content. This assistant is very discreet; it doesn't reveal personal details unless necessary, ensuring privacy is maintained.

The integration with Power Automate is like adding a conveyor belt to your filing system. Instead of manually moving documents from one place to another, you can set up automated processes to handle routine tasks. For example, if a document is flagged, Power Automate can automatically notify the right person or move the document to a specific folder for further review. This saves time and reduces the chance of missing something important.

However, it's important to note that this particular feature is no longer on the roadmap, meaning it won't be available as initially planned. It's like planning to add a new feature to your office setup, only to find out later that it won't be implemented. While this might be disappointing, it helps to stay informed about what tools are available and how they can best be used to meet your compliance needs.
