Working with PowerAutomate (Flow)

SharePoint PowerAutomate, also known as Flow allows organizations to automate processes that integrate existing services and business apps used in daily operations. Flow let's you create notifications, move data, automate approvals and more using popular applications such as Google Drive, DropBox, Twitter, OneDrive, Dynamics CRM, on-premise data and other data sources. Although PowerAutomate is independent of SharePoint they are,tightly integrated. 

Creating a new flow is made quicker and easier by utilising one of the many templates available in Sharepoint and tailoring it to your needs. Furthermore, thanks to hundreds of available prebuilt connectors, there's minimal coding required, often none at all. Using the SharePoint connector, you can create SharePoint approvals that are integrated and powered by Power Automate flows. These include page approvals, document approvals, and hub association approvals,

Editing, deleting and viewing the history of Flow runs is available in one convenient interface.

Microsoft have a separate app dedicated to Power Automate across its 365 platform. For much more help on this subject see our Support+ for Power Apps product. This is available from the S+ dashboard simply by refreshing your browser window,
