Study Notes
Power Automate Flow Types
- Power Automate is a graphical tool for creating automated flows without coding.
- Flows are sequences of events, composed of triggers and actions.
- A trigger initiates the flow, and actions execute tasks.
- Pre-built templates combine triggers and actions.
- Users can create flows from scratch, or choose from templates/options.
Flow Types Explained
- Automated cloud flow: Automatically triggered by an event (e.g., email arrival, file upload).
- Instant cloud flow (button flow): Manually triggered by a user action (button click).
- Scheduled cloud flow: Launces at a specific date/time or on a recurring schedule.
- "You describe it, AI builds it": Creates flows by describing them in plain language.
- Desktop flow: Connects to the Power Automate Desktop app to automate tasks in legacy applications by recording mouse/keyboard actions.
