Microsoft Power Automate

Power Automate is a cloud-based service that allows build workflows to automate processes.

Power Automate was formerly called Microsoft Flow.

In order to use Power Automate, a web browser and an e-mail address is sufficient.

Types of flows

There are five types of flows

	how is it triggered	comments
Automated flows	An (external) event, such as an incoming mail
Instant flows	Click of a button
Scheduled flows	Regular events (such as daily, monthly etc.)
Business process flows	n/a	Make sure that everyone in an organaztion follows the same process
UI flows	n/a	Record UI actions and replay them (think RPA)

A list of connectors that Power Automate (and Power Apps and Azure Logic Apps, for that matter) can connect to, is here.

With peek code, it's possible to look at the code (represented as JSON) that was generated as part of an action or a trigger.

Logic Apps is an Azure service that provides the same functionality as Power Automate plus features such as integration with Azure Resource Manager and the Azure Portal, PowerShell and xPlat CLI, Visual Studio, and additional connectors.
