Cloud flows is a core automation capability in Power Automate that allows customers to focus on what matters and automate the rest. This product area includes:

  • Integration with applications like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dynamics 365 suite of applications, and more.
  • Integration with the rest of Microsoft Power Platform, including the ability to invoke workflows from an app created using Power Apps, when a data alert is triggered in Power BI, or to take an action in Power Virtual Agents.
  • Mobile applications that help customers receive notifications, perform approvals, and invoke and monitor automation runs on the go.

Power Automate was first released in 2016, and it's updated on a weekly basis. In 2022 release wave 2, we're focusing on making it easier to build and share automations, and help organizations drive adoption with confidence through deeper governance and privacy controls.
