Build flows to automate repetitve tasks
Power Automate capabilities will empower your entire organization from end users to developers to build workflows that automate repetitive, manual, and time-consuming tasks. There are three different types of flows an individual may build.
Cloud flows are available when you require your automation to be triggered automatically, instantly, or per a schedule. Desktop flows are designed to automate repetitive desktop tasks using prebuilt drag-and-drop actions or recording your own desktop flow to run later. Business process flows are tailored to guide your team through predefined processes so data is entered consistently and follows the same steps every time. Examples of flows include:
- Sending notifications with the push of a button
- Approval processing for purchase orders and invoices
- Defining stages and steps of a process for handling customer service requests
- Entering data and storing in a database

Power Automate includes over 275 connectors that you can leverage to build your workflows. A connector is an app that can be connected with Power Automate. You can utilize these connectors for data integration across on-premise software and cloud services.
Power Automate includes standard and premium connectors depending on your organization’s needs. Examples of connectors include:
- Office 365 Outlook
- SharePoint
- OneDrive for Business
- Microsoft Teams
- OneNote
