In today’s One-Minute Wednesday, we’re checking out Microsoft Flow. Flow works to automate tasks and workflows that you would normally perform manually. Let’s check it how it works.

Flow Works For You

Microsoft Flow links different apps and programs together to create workflows for you. You’re provided with a variety of templates that help you boost productivity, manage your calendar, store files and a lot more.

Now you’ll be taken to a confirmation page that shows you the Flow is complete and will begin running. Here, you can edit the Flow’s functionality to add more steps, check it’s run history or turn it off when you no longer want it to function.
