Introduction To Power Automate

 Power Automate:--

Power Automate is used to automate repetitive business processes. Beyond simple workflows, Power Automate can send reminders on past due to tasks, move business data between systems on a schedule, talk to more than 275 data sources or any publicly available API

Types of flows:-

Event driven flows - 

These are flows that you build with a trigger and then one or more actions. There is a multitude of triggers and actions available, thanks to the existing connectors. You will see these as My flows and Team flows in Power Automate. The only difference between a My flow and a Team flow is ownership. With a My flow you are the sole owner, while a Team flow has more than one owner.  

Business process flows - 

These flows are built to augment the experience when using Model-driven apps and Microsoft Dataverse. Use these to create a guided experience in your Model-driven apps.  

Desktop flows - 

These robotic process automation (RPA) flows allow you to record yourself performing actions on your desktop or within a web browser. You can then trigger a flow to perform that process for you. You can also pass data in or get data out of the process, letting you automate even "manual" business processes.

Capabilities of Power Automate: 

 Automating repetitive tasks like moving data from one system to another  

Guiding a user through a process so they can complete the different stages 

 Connecting to external data sources via one of the hundreds of connectors or directly via an API 

 Automating desktop-based processes with robotic process automation (RPA) capabilities
