Introduction to Microsoft Flow - Introduction & advanced scenarios
This document provides an introduction and overview of advanced scenarios for Microsoft Flow. It discusses how Flow can be used to connect data across apps and empower power users. The presentation covers creating and managing flows, using environments and data loss prevention, extending flows to communicate with external systems, and the relationship between Flow and Logic Apps. Pricing and the Flow roadmap are also reviewed. The document concludes by acknowledging some positive aspects of Flow while also noting current limitations that could be improved.

- 38. Negative • Young, unknownreliability • Designer needs to be improved • Cannot copy flow across environments • No state machines • No custom variables • Approval logic weak • Collect feedback weak • SharePoint integration weak (no lookup,…)

- #7 Speaker: Sabr Microsoft est en train de reconcevoir la façon dont on crée les app business sans écrire du code. le but étant d'outiller d'avantage les power users ( parce qu'on parle d'application sans code° et les developpeur parce qu'il possible d'étendre ses applications Microsoft se base 3 Piliers: Pilier Mesure: qui permet de mesurer des données et afficher des Dashboard: concrètement incarné Power Bi Act qui permet agir sur les données c'est à dire afficher et modifier les données, ce pilier est porté par power Apps Un pilier d'automatisation, Microsoft flow dont on va vous parler pendant une heure. Ces 3 outils sont conçus pour fonctionner dans le cloud et sur toutes les plateforme y compris le mobile. (Pour qu'on puisse interagir avec elle à partir du mobile) Les applications développés par ces 3 aplli ( sans ) peuvent être étendu si nécessaires par des développeurs. Même si ces application fonctionnent dans le cloud, elles peuvent aussi se connecter à des données on prem ( via les gateways)

- #40 Flow est une brique très jeune (date de release) Il n'est pas possible pour le moment de packager un Flow et de le déplacer d'un environnement à un autre ( même au sein du même tenant) Il n'est pas possible de créer des workflow de type machine à état L'interface de création de workflow pourrait être améliorée: Réordonner les tâches est pénible. Changer une variable sans supprimer toutes les étapes suivantes est impossible.
