How does Microsoft Power Automate work?
Users can easily create workflows through a highly visual and user-friendly drag-and-drop interface. These workflows can then be triggered by specific events or conditions. Power Automate works on the principle of triggers and actions. A trigger initiates a workflow, such as receiving an email in your Outlook account. An action is the subsequent step that occurs once the trigger has been activated, such as posting the Outlook message on Microsoft Teams or Slack. Workflows can consist of one or more actions. Users have the option to either create a new feed from scratch or select from predefined templates.
Microsoft Power Automate offers three types of flows based on how the flow is created. They are cloud feeds, desktop flows, and business process flows.
Cloud flows: Created when you want your automation feature to be triggered either automatically, immediately, or via a schedule.
Desktop feeds: In Power Automate is a type of flow that runs on a user's local computer instead of in the cloud. These flows allow automation of tasks and processes performed on the desktop.
Business process flows: I Power Automate is a series of steps that automate a business process, reducing manual labor and errors and increasing efficiency and consistency. These flows automate business processes, such as customer introduction, sales process, or purchase order approval.
