Example flow

A flow consists of three kinds of blocks

Every flow you will ever build is a combination of these. Once you recognize them, the rest is a matter of practice.

Trigger

The starting signal

A new email, a new file in SharePoint or every Monday at 8:00. Every flow begins with exactly one trigger.

Action

What happens next

Save a file, send a message, add a row in Excel. You can put as many actions in a row as you like.

Condition

A yes/no question

Is the amount higher than 500 euros? Is the attachment a PDF? The answer decides which actions run next.
