What is a Microsoft Flow?

You will have experienced a great examlpe of the Cloud on all the platforms such as booking a cab, transferring money, ordering food, ordering goods, sharing the data etc. and now Microsoft helps us to monitor all our Workflow withthe help of a great Cloud solution called “Microsoft Flow”.

Microsoft Flow helps you to combine two or more Services on the Cloud and make your work simple with the help of this. Microsoft gives you 35 and more connections, free of cost, including Services like SharePoint and OneDrive too with the public software Services like Facebook, Twitter, etc. 

Let’s take a scenario of how Microsoft Flow can help us to understand in a simple manner:

I am running my own company and imagine I have a cost report for a project, which has to be submitted to my client. Let's make it like my personal assistant prepares the report and he mails me to my work account, which is very important!! Now, Flow will collect the data from my work mail account and it will connect it to any Service among the 35. Let's say Wunderlist app, and it will provide the message to me, that you have received an important mail from your PA, that this stuff is important.
