[Microsoft Flow] Different Types of Cloud Flow

There are three different kinds of Cloud Flow:

1. Automated Flow - automation is triggered by an event. 

    Examples: 

• When you receive an email
• When someone submitted a response in MS Forms
• When someone added, remove or modify an item in SharePoint

When these events occur, the flow will be triggered automatically and the action will be executed.

2. Instant Flow - automation is triggered with a click of a button.

    Examples: 

• When you need to send a reminder for the team
• When you need to review and approve proposal
• When you need to share a post in your social media accounts

The flow is triggered manually or on-demand when the users click a button.

3. Scheduled Flow - automation is triggered on a certain data/time or frequency set by the user.

    Examples:

• When you need to upload data to a database
• When you need to send an email
• When you need to create a dynamic record
