Microsoft Flow Feature

Yesterday in #FutureOfSharepoint event I heard about new Microsoft Flow feature. I felt it really interesting and more useful. I would like to highlight more capabilities of Flow here.

Microsoft Flow (Preview) offers businesses ways to connect many different services to automate tasks and makes it easy to mash-up two or more dif­ferent services. Microsoft Flow is publicly available and has connections to 35+ different services, including both Microsoft services like OneDrive and SharePoint, and public software services like Slack, Twitter and Salesforce.com, with more being added. Microsoft Flow is a product to help you set up automated workflows between your favorite apps and ser­vices to synchronize files, get notifications, collect data, and more. Mi­crosoft Flow can accelerate your business so you spend less time on mun­dane, repetitive tasks, and more time on what you want to do.

Microsoft Flow Capabilities:
Add multiple actions to a flow:
¨ Customize a flow by adding one or more advanced parameters and multi­ple actions for the same trigger.
Add a condition to a flow:
¨ Specify that a flow performs one or more tasks only if a particular condi­tion is true.
Run flows on a schedule:
¨ Create a flow that performs the same task or tasks, such as sending a report in email, every day, hour, or minute.
Wait for approval in flow:
¨ Create a flow that, if you create an item in SharePoint, sends approval email and then notifies you whether the item was approved or rejected.
Watch your flows in action:
¨ Way to ensure that your flows run as you expects, perform the starting action, and review the inputs and outputs that each step in your flow gen­erates.
Submit a flow template to the Microsoft flow gallery:
¨ Create a template by creating a flow from scratch or modifying an exist­ing flow template. Submit your flow template to the Microsoft Flow gallery so that other users can create their own flows from your template.
