as well as the associated action or application.

00:00:14

Let's start with the automated flow.

00:00:17

This type of flow triggers automatically when a specific event occurs.

00:00:21

For example,

00:00:22

it can activate when a new email arrives or when a row is added to an Excel table.

00:00:27

Next, there is the instant flow.

00:00:30

This flow is triggered manually by a user.

00:00:33

You might use it to start a task such as sending a report with

00:00:36

a simple click and it can be triggered via the power automate mobile app.

00:00:41

The third type is the scheduled flow.

00:00:44

This flow runs at predefined intervals such as every day at a specific time.

00:00:48

It is ideal for recurring tasks such as reminders or regular updates.

00:00:54

Each type of flow has its utility and

00:00:56

can be customized with specific actions and conditions.

00:01:00

The choice of flow type depends on your scenario and what you wish to automate.

00:01:05

Remember that you can combine multiple actions in

00:01:07

a single flow to create complex automation processes.

00:01:11

The flexibility of power automate lies in its ability

00:01:14

to adapt to a multitude of needs and scenarios.

00:01:17

In practice, you could have an automated flow to sort emails,

00:01:20

an instant flow to launch customer satisfaction surveys

00:01:23

and a scheduled flow for weekly report generation.

00:01:27

Another more complex type of flow allows you

00:01:29

to automate actions related to your local applications.
