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 after the trigger has been fired, such as posting the Outlook message on Microsoft Teams or Slack. Workflows can consist of one or more actions. Users have the option of either creating a new flow from scratch or choosing from predefined templates.
Microsoft Power Automate offers three types of flows based on how the flow is created. They are cloud flows, desktop flows and business process flows.
Cloud flows: Created when you want your automation function to trigger either automatically, immediately, or via a schedule.
Desktop flows: In Power Automate is a type of flow that runs on a user's local computer instead of in the cloud. These flows enable the automation of tasks and processes performed on the desktop.
Business process flows: In Power Automate is a series of steps that automates a business process, reducing manual work and errors and increasing efficiency and consistency. These flows automate business processes, such as customer onboarding, sales process or purchase order approval.
