automating workflows across apps and services

Get notifications Copy files Collect data Automate approvals

Trigger – the event that kicks off the flow:

• Manually

• on a schedule

• on an event in the cloud

Example: Notification Flow

Actions – what the flow does

Uses data from the trigger

Over 150 out of the box connectors with new connectors every weekUse Custom Connectors to connect to any custom REST endpoint

Connect to on-premises data using gateways

Automate advanced scenarios with multiple steps,

branching conditions, scheduling, looping and more

Built on top of

Logic Apps:

Uses the public APIs

and standard runtime

They leverage the same visual workflow

designer / editor

Logic Apps can do everything that Flow

can do

Flow has additional UX /

experiences to simplify experience

for typical office worker

Rule of thumb:

If you are working in Visual Studio + Azure, or use source control, then use Biztalk Server & Logic Apps

If you are working in Excel, Access & SharePoint, then use Flow

Connectors are wrappers around a web API that allows it to

connect to Microsoft Flow, Logic Apps, and PowerApps

150 connectors today
