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.
