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
