Microsoft Flow
Microsoft Flow
Microsoft Flow • Microsoft Flow helps non-developers work smarter by automating workflows across apps and services • Connect to cloud and on-premises data • Over 170 out of the box connectors with new connectors every week • Use custom connectors to connect to any custom REST endpoint • Connect to on-premises data using gateways • Modern Approvals in Flow • Streamline business processes for data in SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Forms, SQL, etc. • View sent and received requests in a unified approvals center • Do approvals on the go - from your phone or directly from your inbox • Customize to fit your business process: • Sequential or hierarchical approvals • Parallel approvals • All Assigned Must Approve
Microsoft Flow • Scheduling – run a flow at a particular frequency, delay, delay until • Expressions - perform simple, inline calculations like string manipulation (e.g. substring, replace) or arithmetic (e.g. add, subtract, multiply) • Control flow – switch-case, parallels, do until, apply to each, handle timeouts and failures • Variables • Nested workflows
Microsoft Flow – launch panel • Create flows that prompt for information • Run as the user starting the flow • Integrated into modern lists and libraries in SharePoint
Out of box “Send for review” flow – Late 2017 • Available in all lists and libraries, no set up required • Uses the Flow launch panel and prompts for approver and message • Tracks the status in a new column on the library: “Review status”

Microsoft Flow - licensing Are the flow runs included in the per user licenses limited to the licensed user? • Flow runs included in Microsoft Flow Free can only be used by the licensed user. • Flow runs included in the Office 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Flow Plan 1 and Plan 2 are pooled across all users in the company. What happens when I use all the flow runs included in my per user licenses? • You can buy more flow runs in increments of 50,000 flow runs per month. https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/
SharePoint Designer Workflows & InfoPath
SharePoint Designer Workflows & InfoPath • PowerApps & Flow are successors to InfoPath forms, Access Web apps and SharePoint Designer Workflows • SPD Workflows and InfoPath may remain in SP Server 2019 but this is not confirmed. • While SPD and InfoPath have Microsoft Extended Support available through to 2026, that is when used with SP Server 2016. Microsoft have not stated such support for SP Online or SP Server 2019 and beyond. • Chris McNulty wrote the support statement and he was clear on this point at Ignite. • “If you’re building new workflows for your business esp with SharePoint, use Flow!”
