After being under months of testing, Microsoft has officially published Flow, your app as a tool for automation that directly rivals the popular IFTTT and Zapier.
The service allows you to connect your cloud-based apps to a series of multiple chain actions together. Like IFTTT, it can be configured so that notification is sent to Slack when someone modifies a file shared on Dropbox, or tweets with a specific hashtag are saved to a Google spreadsheet. The possibilities are almost endless, as those of you who are used to IFTTT will know.
There are currently up to NO apps supported to connect them and that certain actions are carried out when certain conditions are met. Those apps include Facebook, OneDrive, G Suite, INstapaper, and Wunderlist. Flow can be configured both from your web app and iOS as well as on Android.
Not only does it remain for personal use, but the idea of Flow is also to aspire to be a important tool for companies, so that they can deploy the service through specific apps with some restrictions and actions by geographic area or by team.
Flow is a free app, although if we want to get the most out of it we will have to go to any of your payment plans ranging from $ 5 to $ 15 per user. A service that has been available on iOS since the month of June and that serves perfectly to coordinate it with productivity tools, although if what you are looking for is to control the lights in your home or save entries from some social networks, perhaps it would be more interesting to try it IFTTT and Zapier.
An interesting arrival from Microsoft that will use its other platforms so Flow can expand to more users. Participate now from here.
